Russian jet passes within feet of US plane

The US has criticised Russia for an "unprofessional" manoeuvre that saw a Russian fighter jet pass within feet of an American plane. The incident happened when US aircraft intercepted their Russian counterparts high above Alaska. The US regularly carries out aerial intercepts of Russian aircraft in international airspace near Alaska. "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 said in a statement posted on X.
