The US Military is concerned about a recent event involving two patrolling SU-27 Russian fighter jets. The two jets flew within 50 feet of an American RC-135, and one of the SU-27 jets did a barrel roll over the RC-135. In a separate instance, the jets buzzed the USS Donald Cook, causing them to temporarily stop takeoffs from the vessel. NATO is calling these events unsafe and unprofessional.
This relates back to the cold war, as we have had constant tension with Russia since world war 2. Russia is brushing off the event and saying it was not a big deal, further frustrating US leaders.
