Russian Fighter Su-27, Forces Away NATO F-16 After It Approaches The Russian Defence Minister's Plane.

A NATO F-16 fighter jet tried to approach the Russian defense minister’s plane above the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea. The plane was warded off by a Russian Su-27 escorting the minister’s aircraft, according to journalists who were on board.
Russian plane was en route to the city of Kaliningrad, a Western Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea, where Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu is scheduled to discuss security issues with defense officials on Wednesday.
While one NATO aircraft tried to approach the Russian airplane, a Russian Su-27 fighter jet got in its way and tilted its wings, apparently showing its arms. The F-16 then flew away.
On Monday a US RC-135 spy plane flying toward the Russian border made a “provocative turn” toward a Baltic Fleet Su-27, which had been scrambled for an interception mission.
The encounters of Russian and US warplanes over the Baltic Sea waters have apparently become more frequent lately. A Russian fighter jet intercepted a small group of US warplanes, including Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker military refueling aircraft, two B-1 bombers and one B-52, during the BALTOPS (Baltic Operations) annual training exercise on June 10.
Earlier in June, the Russian military intercepted another B-52 bomber in the same area, and escorted by an Su-27 fighter away from Russian territory.

Well...in this clip there is so much You cant see...You would have to be in the cockpit to see it... This is the standard procedure, followed by both pilots. Flanker came close, flashed the guns, then backed away to shooting position....and every warning light on board F16, lighted like the Christmas three when it got targeted by Flanker's radar. There are safety procedures, so if F16 runs, that means he is engaging, but if he moves slowly, that means: everything is ok, I am not a an enemy... Nothing spectacular...
The same procedure goes when the NATO fighters track any Russian plane, bomber or fighter, it doesn't matter, the procedure is the same...unless Someone wants you to go into fight...(but that someone isn't the pilot, we all know who decides when any of the planes go into fight...the pilots are the most disciplined people I ever met, and You just don't send some random pilots to fly that kind a missions)

Thanks for watching.
