The United Kingdom's defense ministry said Thursday that a Russian fighter jet malfunctioned and fired a missile near a British spy plane over the Black Sea last month.
"We don't consider this a deliberate escalation by the Russians, our analysis would concur it was a malfunction," UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace told the House of Commons on Thursday.
"However, it is a reminder of quite how dangerous things can be when you choose to use your fighters in the manner that the Russians have done over many periods of time."
Patrols over the Black Sea have resumed with British fighter jets accompanying all reconnaissance aircraft.

Ben Wallace is a cuck soyboy.
My children use the expression “on accident.”
I tried to correct them, explaining that it should be “by accident.”
They responded by asking me if that meant that the expression “on purpose” should be corrected to “by purpose.”
I gave up at that point.
Holy shit! A writer at Fox actually used “on accident” in a headline, and the editor let it pass.
Yep, that caught my eye, too!
Personally, I would prefer "accidentally."

NOT an accidental accident.
Accident? or a warning! Something big is coming NEXT WEEK and the Big Attack in three weeks.
Accident my asski!
A lot of Russian things are accidental malfunctions.
Lie.
That’s what I was thinking.
The glorious Russian military.
This business will get out of control, it will get out of control and we will be lucky to live through it.
I wonder if it was an accident. Or if a fighter pulls up alongside and gets ignored, and he fired a missile from his position off to the side? How exactly do the Brits decide it was unintentional? Sounds like they got a pointed warning that a rc-135 was about to blow up.
As accidental as last month. When Putn’s frogmen blew up the Nord Streams gaz pipelines with shaped charges.
(I gave up at that point)
Sometimes it’s the best course of action.
Dare ye not venture into a discussion regarding “could of” nor “loosing it” lest ye become an outcast.
Perfect examples of an accident is when Russian tanks toss their turrets
They were monitoring the fighter’s internal signals - it was a spy plane not a airliner.
Soyboy 🤣🤣🤣 good one.
