Russian Su-27 Chases British Spy Plane at Crimean Border in a High-Stake Encounter| Watch Video

A Russian Su-27 fighter intercepted an RAF spy plane and two Typhoon escorts over the Black Sea near Crimea.

The Russian defense ministry claims the interception prevented border approach, while the UK describes it as a routine operation in international airspace.

Such surveillance flights are common and often uneventful.

The incident highlights ongoing tensions in the region.

The RC-135W Rivet Joint, an unarmed surveillance aircraft, was involved.

A similar encounter in 2022 resulted in a Russian jet firing a missile near an RAF plane.
