Confrontation between Russian fighter jet and U.S. military near Alaska caught on camera
“The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all," Air Force Gen. Gregory Guillot said.
“The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all," Air Force General Gregory Guillot said.
The U.S. military on Monday released video of what it said was an unsafe maneuver by a Russian fighter jet near Alaska during an intercept by the U.S. military last week.
The United States regularly carries out aerial intercepts of Russian aircraft in international airspace near Alaska, and usually says they are carried out in a safe and professional manner. But this time was different, officials say.
“The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all — not what you’d see in a professional air force,” Air Force General Gregory Guillot, who oversees U.S. forces in North America said in a statement posted on X.
Russia’s embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Why would a Russian jet do that?
Probably just trying to bypass the air traffic. You know, like those people that drive in the turning lane then cut over at the light.
