I suspect there are plenty of facts about this incident that we’re not being told.

Remember the
Vincennes?
They mistook an Airbus with 290 people aboard for an attacking fighter.

Incorrect. See video of Russian Tu-16 back in the 1960s

Russian aircraft flyovers of US and NATO vessels is nothing new. Remember that many of these flyovers take place in international waters. The US and NATO have done the same to Russian vessels.
Iranian maritime patrol aircraft flying recon against Coalition vessels is nothing new. It had been going on for decades.

Go back 30-40 years. A Bear would have quickly found it being escorted by a Phantom II or a Tomcat well before it got within range of the carrier. Yep!
