B-52 Crew: “Dimitri do a trick, do a trick!”

Su-27 Pilot: “Ah fine, but just this once!”

The russians were concerned because they could only hear "rock lobster"

[arcane]

Let's be honest....Americans do the same thing when Russian bombers are close to the USA over international waters.

The pilots: *just having fun*
The respective governments/media: “This is a declaration of war!”
*Edit*: this was meant as a joke please stop fighting in the replies section!

“Gets intercepted by a Russian plane”
“Hold on let me get my camera

You know damn well both sides had fun.

The SU27 gave a wing wag, he was saying hi!

Yeah bombers flying near your country tend to make you get intercepty I'd imagine 😂

[skunksdoinglaundry]

Rocked wings. It's a friendly encounter.

Skilful pilots admire each other even if from different cultures and some time they get so close they salute each other from the cockpit.

Looked highly professional by all aspects.

Strategic bomber flying 1200 km from Moscow: We have no idea why they were interested in our plane

You gotta admit though, the Sukhoi SU series of fighters are beautiful!!

[robtaylor]

He just waved his wings to say hi. I would come check it out too if there was another country’s bomber flying near our airspace.

[gorflunk]

I caught that wing waggle, it's their way of saluting each other. Just another day at the office for these guys.

"Hey ruski guy, do a flip lmao"

"Sure lmao"

Media:"it was a declaration of war"

[HiVoltish]

Yeah, this has been done since the 1950's.

[eternalcancer]

If russians do it its unprofessional but if US does it its heroic 🤯

[KernelKlink]

It’s terrible when you totally innocently fly a heavy strategic bomber close to someone’s country and THEY act aggressively 😮
