GET OUT: Russian fighter takes on F-15

[Lincoln]

I have to say, that's something. If that F-15 did not break left, that would've not been a good view. Was not expecting that too.

Does this happen often in interceptions?

Russian...Chal oye bar nikal....very dangerous but not a first by Russias.

F15 came too close to a Russian military plane and then the SU27 came between them to chase away F15. It was a daring move.

but why F 15 did not stay on course and let Russian hit him and then make noise all over the world Bad Russians hitting our planes.

Any direct conflict between Russian and USA has a potential of escalation since both are very powerful.

US pilots do not perform such maneuvers. We are more disciplined and professional.

What USA Pilots will do if the roles were reversed?

 

[maverick1977]

someone is recording it. and warning signs must have been given, but for a figther pilot of F15 to react so fast it unbelievable.. sharp reflexes.

Interceptions inside territorial airspace are extremely rare. %99.999 of the time, unidentified aircrafts are met well outside of territorial airspace.

Detected aircraft =/= identified.

I see you, but that does not mean I know you as Joe (for example). You are Joe, not John or James, but Joe. Therefore, an identification is unique to individuals. So if I 'see' you from 100km away, that does not mean I know you as an airliner from Alaska Air or a bomber or a fighter from Russia.

Voice identification is not %100. You maybe a military aircraft but verbally say civilian. I cannot take your word for that. That leave physical and visual identification, meaning I must have eyes on you.

Now...What I do when I meet you -- in the air -- is a different issue.

My meeting you in the air would be well outside of territorial airspace. Once we meet, you and I would know who we are. Courtesy expects me to tell you not to enter our airspace. Courtesy expects you to comply. If you do not comply, then there are next options and they are not pleasant.

But US pilots would not fly the reckless way Russian and Chinese pilots do.

I understand that, but Russian and Chinese are intercepting within their Air Space (Claimed if you choose to say). so same situation and USA response, just shoot or try to escort intruder away?

Territorial airspace violations cannot assumed to be hostile. Most are completely innocuous and are done by civilians, usually from poor navigation caused by technical issues and/or inadequate flight training. So an armed response -- shooting -- is completely wrong. If an armed response is the first response, there would not be an interception in the first place. The fact that there is an interception means everyone wants to have %100 confirmation of who is flying out there. If military pilots are ordered to violate territorial airspace, it will be of hostile intent.
