WATCH ‘Russian’ Su-27 fend off F-15 in a daring maneuver mid-air
A Su-27 jet fighter was filmed confronting an F-15 as it fended off the US-made aircraft by executing a risky maneuver mid-air, while both warplanes flew dangerously close to each other.
A 40-second clip, which began circulating on Russian social media on Thursday, shows what appears to be an F-15 jet fighter flying in close proximity to an unnamed aircraft. The Su-27 warplane can be seen approaching the American-made jet from the side.
As the two planes get extremely close to each other, the Su-27 makes a breathtaking maneuver, forcing the F-15 to turn away, fly further from the plane and ultimately disappear from sight.
It is not clear when and where the altercation was filmed.
