This is how countries troll each other.

Can we just admire how cool it is to be a fighter jet pilot

I’m sure both side’s pilots get exited when they get to see each other’s jets.

CNN report next day: Russian jet makes dangerous manouver against US jet.

Wasn't chased off, it avoided an intentional aggressive move.

What's funny is those pilots probably live for this kinda stuff and have huge respect for eachother and see this as a game.

Hornet-Pilot: "Excuse me sir, you know a Carrier nearby i can land on?"

Its crazy to think how far technology has advanced in the last 100 years, imagine show that jet to the wright brothers

Hornet: "ooo I like thicc girls!"
Flanker: "Find your own!"

The good ole "I'm not touching you" lmao.

[tomjary]

😂😂 Maybe the pilot wanted an autograph. Putins fans are everywhere.

[c.valero]

The NATO jet belongs to the Spanish Air Army based in Lithuania.

God damn that Sukhoi is one stunning aircraft.

"mate your gas cap is open!"

[Mico]

Guys in the plane were basically like we are, impressed by these two beautiful machines. No "chase" happened just peaceful (as it should be) escort swap, hell pilots probably said to each other have a nice day mate
