-US military
officials have confirmed the US spy jet had, in fact,
invaded Swedish airspace without permission while
trying to flee from the chasing Russian fighter jet.
The incident, which happened in mid-July, was
reported by the Swedish newspaper Svenska
Dagbladet (SvD) on July 30, 2014, after a classified
document from Sweden's Defense Ministry was
leaked to the press.
The report suggested that the jet was "a foreign
military or government aircraft, which flew a whole of
113 nautical miles (210 kilometers) through Swedish
airspace, after being denied entry".
It passed from the east over the island of Gotland in
the Baltic Sea and flew over 90 minutes before
leaving.
On the following weekend, a US military official told
CNN it was the US RC-135 Rivet Joint plane
conducting an electronic eavesdropping mission on
the Russian military. But it was detected by a radar
station and Russia sent a fighter jet to intercept it.
The Russian jet took off from the naval air base in the
Kalinigrad region and caught up with the American
reconnaissance plane. The US military official said
the US plane crew decided to leave the area as
quickly as possible. The shortest path was through
Swedish airspace. The US official admitted it was
done without Swedish military approval

Busy eaves dropping on a russia that have little or no time for them

Oklander: Keep looking for Russians trouble and trying so hard to make them look bad at the same time...hypocrites!

Why running, unless people.

Source pls?

A converted passenger jet used as an Electronic Intelligence platform is different from a fighter jet even the most maverick of,pilots will seek to avoid confrontation unless absolutely necessary which would,mean he had no where to go or that war was declared.
The elint plane does have measures to counter the jet (theoretically at least ) but if that becomes the case then the US and Russia are at war.

^^^^^^
And for those who care to know , a US plane of the same specs has survived a hostile encounter with a Chinese fighter jet that did not survive.Resulting in the first foreign policy crisis Gorge Bush had to face as he stepped into office in early 2000/2001.
Ya'll might wanna read about it thinking that the Russian jet would have dealt,with the US plane is just so much one sided thinking.

Ibnsultan: Yankeeesss are chickens

No, they are super powers!

if the jet is a minute late off Russian air space,it would have been shot down

The yanks like trouble

Tomorrow they will tell you Russia is Evil and some folks will be shouting Evil Putin up and down without finding out what is going on

I'm really interested in this story.

I wonder why US always does funny things. They are looking for trouble. I hope the Russians retaliates.

The yankeS are scared of kremlin
