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.

“ Russia has been doing it since WW2”
Good point.
“Alternately, they just turned off ADS-B. They could avoid civilian air routes and look for other aircraft’s ADS-B. Broadcasting their positions was just a courtesy to the Russians. Eff ‘em.”
I can’t say that’s not possible, but I see them flying with the same frequency as before on the new pattern that I never saw them fly before. I would venture to guess that the Russians do not depend on ADS-B to detect and identify aircraft over the Black Sea. When you can see British surveillance aircraft flying with fighter escort (which I have seen) it would indicate that pretty much everyone uses ADS-B in that area for reasons I can’t really comprehend.
Know what? I hardly blame them. The corrupt United States for too long has honestly been the bully to many nations, including Russia. For decades now the United States has been arrogant abusing its economic power to both punish other nations and to bribe other nations into corrupt ways.
For example, using the dollar's reserve currency status to punish smaller weaker countries. US foreign aid used to be sent out of goodwill and recognizing we have been blessed with a lot of wealth. Now? Now the US send buckets of money to countries if - and only if - they adopt homosexual laws, or laws or adopt transgender study programs. Those are just a couple of examples of a corrupt and degenerate empire.
“I am afraid today’s attack on Russian soil was THE LAST STRAW.”
Were you clutching your pearls with one hand, and falling to the fainting couch as you typed that with the other hand?
Clutching pearls and feeling faint. Somebody hold me.
video .... what video?
“All that I am saying is that Syria is not a major producer of oil.”
You’re right: It’s not.
I think Putin and Biden and Xi and Kim and Ayatollah all would want a hot nuclear war. They all are serving the same higher power.
You may be correct. I am sure the Russians do not necessarily depend on ADS-B, but it sure makes surveillance easier. Skin echos do not provide good altitude information, if at all. Most ATC radar use fan beams which provide no altitude information at all.
You are free to find another country better
I live in the country that I served. This country was a great, great nation. It still has countless millions of great people and great patriots. I really believe that; many right here on FR. I hope this nation will become great once again, but it is not right now, IMO. I pray and will continue to stive to make this country more honorable.
Yep
We should not be in Syria. We are collapsing HERE, NOW.
Unelected NeoCons. Our rulers.
Keep your eyes focused on Isreal.
In 2018 some 500 hundred Wagner mercenaries , with Russian artillery support tried seizing a Syrian oil field owned by Conoco.
The Russians started firing on a US special Forces base. As part of a demilitarized demarcation line and agreements between Russia and the US there would constant communication between the two forces so there wouldn’t be any exchanges between the two .
When the Russians starting dropping rounds around this US outpost it’s commander immediately got on the horn with his Russian counterpart and asked what the hell were they trying to do, were they deliberately firing on the US outpost?
Russians, besides being thieves excel at lying. Despite the Russian denials rounds continued to fall on US troops.
Within minutes American artillery, F22 Raptors and B52s started laying down the hate and eliminated half the Russian force within minutes.
It was so bad the Russian commander got on the phone with his US counterpart and asked for a cease fire.
True to Ivan’s stupidity the Russians and Syrians tried about a month later, organizing an armored column as they had previously done.
They were spotted by a US Reaper drone and the US commander again called his Russian counterpart and warned him they get the crap beat out of them again if they tired anything.
Within minutes of the phone call the Russians backed off.
