A Russian Su-35 fighter jet seriously frightened the crew of an American anti-submarine aircraft by performing an unusual maneuver.

Another attempt by the US military to approach the Russian air base Khmeimim from the Mediterranean Sea to collect data on the work of the S-400 "Triumph" air defense system, led to outrage and angry responses from the US Army command about the violation of flight rules.

The reason for this was an unusual interception arranged by a Su-35 fighter. 

Since the pilots of the American anti-submarine aircraft P-8 "Poseidon" did not respond to warnings, the pilot of the Russian "drying" approached him at a distance of several meters in an inverted state and from the cockpit gave a sign demanding to leave the forbidden zone.

Free News reports that up to this point, the crew of the Poseidon ignored everything, but the demonstrative maneuver of the "crazy Russian" caused a shock to the Americans, after which they turned away and were forced to interrupt the reconnaissance mission. The incident sparked an angry response from the Pentagon, which accused the Russian pilot of "wrong and dangerous" actions.
