We can conclude that you failed to find a single incident of a US interception of a Soviet recon flight in international airspace that ended in weapons fire. So yes, in international airspace, just as the Soviets claimed the right to be there, we also claim the same right, we just happened to be on the same course as they were...
I never made such claim of shooting at others, it is all your words trying to debunk on nothing made by me.You just love to shoot at hot air, don''t you.
Looky here, kid. You made a stink about the Japanese response of Chinese aircrafts by saying that this is in international airspace. You did not know the Soviets used to do the same to US. In the end, you ended up looking the fool.
