I doubt we have any orders allowing us to fire on anything, that is why the USS Cole was hit by terrorists.

The Russians don't fire on us and we don't fire on them.

As soon as the aircraft was ID'd as Russian the skipper will order all fire control radar turned off.

Both sides have been FASTIDIOUS at showing restraint.

And for good reason.

It's fun out there.
