Dangerous rapprochement: F-35 in the air "came on five" Russian SU-35 (video)

To spread: a video appeared on the network, which recorded a dangerously close rapprochement of the Russian multi-purpose Su-35C fighter and the US fifth generation fighter F-35A. The incident probably happened near the shores of Alaska. The video was published on April 6 at the Fighterbomber Telegram channel, related to Russian air-space forces. The Tu-95MC strategic bomber, accompanied by a Russian fighter, also got into the frame.

The video shows how the American F-35A in a very small distance goes forward and right from the Su-35, creating a potentially dangerous situation. "It should be understood that virtually any such rapprochement can end with the collision of the boards, which at such speeds are practically guaranteed to end with catapultation,"-writes the presenter of the Russian channel.

The exact date and place of the shooting are not specified, however, as reported in The War Zone, the incident occurred in the identification area of ​​Air Air Air Force, which is a buffer zone that goes beyond the sovereign US airspace and is intended for tracking and identification of aircraft approaching the North America. In it, Americans regularly record the patrols of the Russian forces of longitudinal aviation.

Western observers also noted that the incident from the Su-35 and F-35 is not the only one. In March, footage was published, on which the Russian IL-38 patrol aircraft was in charge of the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier, accompanied by F/A-18E/F and F-35C fighters during US, Japan and South Korea exercises in the Japanese Sea. In addition, last year Chinese H-6 rocket launchers first appeared off the coast of Alaska during a joint patrol with Russian aviation.
