A Russian pilot tried to ‘dogfight’ American jets over Syria in an effort to provoke the US.
Russian pilots have been buzzing US fighter jets over the last several weeks.
This is the new norm under a Joe Biden presidency.
A nuclear power is trying to provoke the US and draw us into World War 3.
In March two Russian Su-27 aircraft attacked a US Reaper drone and dumped fuel on the drone over the Black Sea.
CNN reported:
Russian pilots tried to “dogfight” US jets over Syria, according to a spokesman for US Central Command, part of a recent pattern of more aggressive behavior.
The attempts have happened in several of the most recent instances of aggressive behavior from Russian pilots, Col. Joe Buccino said.
The Russian pilots do not appear to be trying to shoot down American jets, a US official told CNN, but they may be trying to “provoke” the US and “draw us into an international incident.”
In military aviation, dogfighting is engaging in aerial combat, often at relatively close ranges.
A video released by US Central Command from April 2 shows a Russian SU-35 fighter jet conducting an “unsafe and unprofessional” intercept of a US F-16 fighter jet.

If you go to You Tube and put in “How The US Military Smoked The Russians’’ you’ll get to see exactly what happened.
Ivan tried to get cute and he got his ass kicked.
Youtube... and a propaganda video. No thanks.
We attacked the Syrian government forces that were fighting rebels and operating inside their own country.
And we murdered hundreds of white Christians there to fight ISIS.
We did so on behalf of the jihadis.
We fly top cover for ISIS.
At least our “mission’ is crumbling now since not one single nation there now supports our presence in Syria now. Attacking the Russian force puts the lie to our stated purpose.
That is exactly what we do. Brother in arms is just war porn. The fact is, we fought a Syrian government operation to restore control to that oilfield. That was a part we illegally grabbed in out war against Assad (Not ISIS).
But the operation is thankfully failing. Saudis have made peace with Iran. Turkey has made peace with Assad. They are reopening embassies. None of the countries involved in this want us there anymore. It’s going away.
Go look at the video. Just give it a look.
“Wow, when did FR become a magnet for Commie lovers?”
Exactly!
There’s a contingent of Freepers who embrace the “Blame America First” mentality that used to be the sole domain of the Democrat Party.
Prior to WWII, there was a sizable minority here in the US who tried to accuse the US of provoking a war and not being understanding about Hitler and the Nazis.
They’re still here. They’ve just chosen a different side for now.
