I dunno, back in the day, this sort of thing went on all the dang time, by both sides. That’s the era Adm. Roughead came up in, and would be my guess as to why he doesn’t see anything all that odd about it.

Shhhh...

Facts are just confusing.

This pales by comparison to the stories I heard about U.S. boomers and Russian subs in the Med.

At least these guys didn't play long enough to draw Mickey Mouse on the navigational plotter.

Still does. Iranian P-3s flew over us all the time in the gulf last year. Our F/A-18s would intercept them and chase them away and they'd be back the next day. The Iranians got to posture and out pilots got a little practice chasing slow-flying aircraft (a sight to see).

No big deal. The US Navy respects international airspace and waters.
