Russian jet causes ‘dangerous’ near collision after flying close to RAF spy plane
UK government calls incident ‘unacceptable’ after Su-27 jet comes within six metres of unarmed spy plane over Black Sea

An Su-27 jet conducted six passes in front of an unarmed RAF Rivet Joint flying close to its nose, potentially risking a collision that could have triggered a diplomatic crisis between the two countries.
