Video: "Unsafe" Russian Fighters Intercept French Warplanes Over Black Sea

Russia scrambled two Su-27 Flankers to intercept three French military planes over the Black Sea on Feb. 17, 2021, and the incident was recorded by a Russian pilot.


While the Russians claim the interception was carried out “in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace," France claimed that the Russian aircraft approached in an unsafe manner by encroaching into an unsafe distance, thereby endangering their crews.


The French air patrol consisted of two Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft and a KC-135FR aerial refueling tanker.
