Video at link. A Russian fighter jet flew dangerously close to a U.S. reconnaissance aircraft on Thursday in the latest military provocation by Moscow over the Baltic Sea, the U.S. European Command said Saturday.

The U.S. aircraft, a militarized Boeing 707 jet, was operating in international airspace and at no time crossed into Russian territory, said the Navy, as reported first by The Washington Free Beacon.

“On April 14, a U.S. Air Force RC-135 aircraft flying a routine route in international airspace over the Baltic Sea was intercepted by a Russian Su-27 in an unsafe and unprofessional manner,” Navy Capt. Danny Hernandez on Saturday told Fox News and other new gathering agencies.

JSTARS?

Everyone views Obama as weak, except for Congressional Republicans. They’re his little bitch.

[SaveFerris]

More likely the ELINT/SIGINT/PHOTOINT(add video) RC-135 series based on 707 and possibly 717 platforms.

It’s what these birds do, in international airspace.

Cold War games.

Agreed.

I used to think that was the case with Congressional Republicans, and still do for some of them. But then I came to realize that many Republicans secretly want the same outcomes that their Democrat "opponents" want. After we gave them majorities in both houses and they still did nothing, the truth became inescapable.

Yes, 135 - stated in the article

They’ve got him pegged as “never going to do anything”.

Obama contemplates surrender as Russian jet threatens U.S. reconnaissance aircraft.

There fixed the title.

Putin “views” obungo as weak? Views? He is weak and he behaves as a weak bully. He is no more than one of the children in “Lord of the Flies” inside but he is real and mortally dangerous.

A little bitch slap across our Commander’s puss.

“in an unsafe and unprofessional manner,””

Now that our military is so feminized, pussified, and homo oriented, its hard to know if something was unsafe or unprofessional. They may have just encountered males.

The 707, old but still great!

John Travolta flies one and parks it in his YARD.

[yarddog]

Those jets would be nice.

I would settle for a young Kelly Preston.

I have one parked in my bedroom. But Travolta does not fly it. It's actually wooden and on a pedestal. But carries the markings of my old squadron.

Not too shabby, he even has garages for the cockpits. :)
