Well it is a good job you aren’t in charge! Leave it to the commanders who are in charge. This is international waters and airspace. You are aware that US and Russian forces conduct exercises together in both anti-terror and search and rescue?

The aircraft are monitored, intercepted and escorted. They have the legitimate right to inspect just the same as NATO aircraft do to Russian warships. A recent Russian carrier battle group went into the Med and were monitored and inspected by NATO aircraft. No difference and something that has being going on for years.

Even Iranian P-3 Orions do visual intercept of Coaliton naval groups in the Persian Gulf. Do you hear of any of them being shot down by those naval groups?

Heaven help us if it was left to the armchair generals on freepers!

Ahmadinejad and Vlad the murderer are in charge. You are just a target.
