Russian Jets Intercept RAF Spy Plane Over Black Sea, UK Condemns 'Dangerous' Maneuvers

A Russian Su-27 fighter jet flew within six meters of an unarmed RAF Rivet Joint spy plane over the Black Sea, causing the British Ministry of Defence to protest the "dangerous and unacceptable" incident. The intercept, which included multiple passes, disabled the RAF plane's autopilot and is seen as an escalation of Russia's grey war with the West.
