Russian propaganda. Based on simple physics, it’s 100X more likely that a ship could fry a close-by passing jet than the other way around, due to vastly greater power and much bigger arrays.
The part about 27 crew trying to quit? Pure Russian propaganda.
Thanks bro. Your opinion I trust.
“ased on simple physics, it’s 100X more likely that a ship could fry a close-by passing jet than the other way around, due to vastly greater power and much bigger arrays.”
The Aegis could microwave cook the pilot in his metal craft, if the EWO was so inclined.
That brings to mind the Russian propaganda about the Ukrainian flagship’s captain and crew agreeing to surrender when they returned to their home port of Sevastopol after returning from a NATO exercise.
Somehow the captain and crew must not have been in on the agreement. When they returned they put in at Odessa instead going to the Crimea.
I suspect the Cook went dark and did not light up the Russian bomber when it approached. No reason to give intel for free.
Our captain once got a Russian warship to activate their fire control radar. Lots of congrats after that.

Anyone old enough to remember the Cold War knows what liars and story tellers the Russians can be.
