美国指责俄罗斯派遣一架喷气战斗机星期三在黑海上空“危险地”逼近一架美国侦察机。美国军方官员说,这种拦截“不安全、不专业”。而莫斯科方面则称,俄方飞机的行动符合国际飞行规定。

美国表示,俄罗斯苏27侧卫喷气战斗机飞到距离美国海军P-8A海神侦察机三米距离时,美国飞机是在国际空域进行“常规操作”。俄罗斯军机的拦截行动持续了19分钟。

美国国防部说,“美国海军飞机和船只经常在这个区域与俄罗斯飞机和船只相遇,大多数情况下,这种相遇都是安全和专业的。” “但是我们对类似这次的不安全相遇行动感到担忧。这种行动具有导致不必要紧张的可能性,可能会引起误判或事故。”

俄罗斯国防部表示,俄罗斯方面是在美国飞机接近俄罗斯边界并关闭了确认身份的应答器之后才下令战斗机升空的。

The United States accused Russia of sending one of its fighter jets dangerously close to an American spy plane over the Black Sea on Wednesday, an intercept American military officials said was "unsafe and unprofessional," even as Moscow said it acted in accordance with international flight rules.

The U.S. said its Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft was on "routine operations" in international airspace when a Russian SU-27 Flanker jet flew within three meters of it in an intercept that lasted 19 minutes.

"U.S. Navy aircraft and ships routinely interact with Russian units in the area and most interactions are safe and professional," the U.S. Defense Department said. "However, we have concerns when there is an unsafe maneuver like this. These actions have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions, and could result in a miscalculation or accident."

The Russian defense ministry said it dispatched its fighter jet after the U.S. aircraft approached the Russian border and turned off its transponders, which are used for identification.
