US could have shot down Russian jet that buzzed destroyer: Kerry
 

Washington (AFP) - A Russian military jet that flew just feet from a US destroyer in international waters in the Baltic Sea could have been shot down under US rules of engagement, US Secretary of State John Kerry said.

Russian aircraft repeatedly buzzed the USS Donald Cook this week, including an incident on Tuesday when a Russian Su-24 jet flew 30 feet (nine meters) above the ship in a "simulated attack profile," the US military's European Command said.

Russia has denied the action was reckless or provocative.

Kerry, speaking Thursday, strongly disagreed.

"We condemn this kind of behavior. It is reckless. It is provocative. It is dangerous. And under the rules of engagement that could have been a shoot-down," Kerry told CNN Espanol in Miami.

Kerry added: "People need to understand that this is serious business and the United States is not going to be intimidated on the high seas."

"We are communicating to the Russians how dangerous this is and our hope is that this will never be repeated," Kerry said.

The Russian maneuvers began Monday while the destroyer was located about 70 nautical miles from the Russian base in Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea.

Yea, that would have been the prudent thing to do.

pru·dent
ˈpro͞odnt/
adjective
acting with or showing care and thought for the future.


.

It's always tit for tat.. Everyone knows Russians and the Chinese do these fly by or intentional breeches of other countries air space for a few miles. It's SOP for commies it's just the commie thing to do like military parades.

Meanwhile we put naval ships right off their coast and fly all kinds of "recon" missions at the edges of their air space.

It's all fun and games..

that's a negative, ghost rider.

what are you drunk rooskies up to with your flashy fly-bys?

Fucking Russians putting their country so close to our ships..

[IMG]On the eve of the Day of Russian science, which since 1999 is celebrated on February 8 Russian Public Opinion Research Center (VTsIOM) I checked the Russians knowledge. 29-30 January 2011 1600 13 Russians simplest of questions from different fields have been set. The results surprised many researchers (see. Table). One-third (32%) of respondents believe that the sun revolves around the Earth. And a year ago we thought so 28% of our compatriots. 62% answered the basic question is true. 6% - not found an answer. And 20% believe that a complete revolution around the Sun, the Earth makes in one month. 76% of Russians believe that the Earth's hot center. 78% know that the oxygen we breathe comes from plants. But 11% believe that radioactive milk is safe to do, if it is just to boil. And as many as 55% do not doubt that all radioactivity - the handiwork of men. The fact that fewer electron atoms, believe 18% of Russians. The fact that the continents on which we live, move for millions of years and will continue to move in the future have heard 71% of our compatriots. The fact that the first humans lived in the same era as the dinosaurs, no doubt 29% of Russians. The fact that today's humans evolved from earlier species of human, believe 61% of Russians. At the same time 20% of Russians somehow believe that the child's sex is determined mother genes. 46% believe that antibiotics kill viruses as well as bacteria. 26% believe that the laser works by focusing sound waves.[/IMG]
