A Russian Su-27 intercepted a U.S. EP-3 Aries reconnaissance plane in international airspace over the Black Sea, the U.S. Navy said, describing the Russian plane’s maneuver as dangerous.

The jet passed by at a high speed right in front of the EP-3 and chased it when the U.S. plane attempted to turn away, the U.S. Navy said via USNI on Nov. 5.
