Russian jet intercepts Polish plane over Black Sea

A RUSSIAN fighter jet intercepted a Polish plane patrolling for the EU’s border agency over the Black Sea, causing the pilots to temporarily lose control of the aircraft, Warsaw said today.

According to Poland’s border force, the Russian Sukhoi Su-35 plane did not make radio contact before carrying out “aggressive and dangerous manoeuvres, approaching the border guard plane three times without keeping to the required safety distance”.
