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.

Provoke Russia? That’s all the west has done since 2000.
The way things are currently going, I’m more inclined to this being a counter-counter-provocation, where the “US”/DSC wants to bait the Ruskies into a WW3 scenario, and with projection, blame Rus for starting what the “US”/DSC wants.
All part of Agenda 21
Looking at the list of belligerents (and the supporters) in the Syrian civil war (now going on for over a decade) is headache-inducing.
From the article:
“In March two Russian Su-27 aircraft attacked a US Reaper drone and dumped fuel on the drone over the Black Sea.”
I’ve been waiting for a post to make an observation; I look at Flightradar24 periodically every day. I saw the drones over the Black Sea, very regularly. They don’t do that anymore. I have not seen one over the Black Sea since that one went down. They stay over Romania along the coast. In other words, the Russians won that one.
Rules of Engagement are F.A.A.F.O.
Let’s take out Putin and Xi.
Preemptive.
Why not?
1) I don’t believe anything the media says.
2) I don’t believe anything the government says.
3) I don’t think there is a chance in the world that Russia WANTS a hot war with the US, nuclear or otherwise.
4) I think the Biden Administration (whomever that is) might want a hot war with somebody.
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.
Oh, that’s right. Senator John F@CKIN MCCain.

McCain is also the one who made numerous visits to Ukraine beginning 2014. There are numerous pictures of him filmed with the Ukie Azov Neo- Nazis…..UNTIL the US Congress passed a bill to stop all funding of the Ukie Nazis. Let that sink in…….the low information emotional key board commanders fail to pull up recent history.
LOL. “Provoking” a US Jet over Syria - a country 5000 miles from US borders, which doesn’t want us there, whose leaders the likes of Obama and McCain using Islamist proxies tried overthrow, whereby the ensuing destruction caused created the largest migrant/refugee flow into Europe since WWII.
I forget one important point though - in the eyes of DC deep-staters, our borders are not in Texas or Arizona. They are now in Ukraine, Syria and Taiwan.
Russia has been doing it since WW2
Because we probably won’t like who takes their place.
(Also, the extrajudicial assassination of two country’s leaders who we aren’t nominally at war with is a surefire way to render America a nation that does not merit trust.)
Syria ain’t that big of a producer. Probably equivalent to Oklahoma.
Who invited the US to overfly Syria?
Russian planes are in Syria at the invitation of the Syrian government which the US has tried to topple, creating a massive refugee crisis, a working space for Islamic fundamentalists, and horrible results for civilians. US planes are in Syrian airspace nominally to combat the Islamic extremists (the bad ones, not the ones we trained and armed).
(I’m not pro-Assad but we do not have clean fingers to point at the Russians).
Спасибо за участие, товарищ.
