A U.S. Navy plane experienced an “unsafe” and “irresponsible” intercept by a Russian fighter plane over international waters on June 4, said the Navy in a statement.

A Russian Su-35 fighter jet intercepted a Navy P-8A Poseidon surveillance plane three times, the Navy said in a statement on the 6th Fleet’s website. The first and third interactions were in accordance with international rules, the second was not.
