USS Ross


Russian attack jets were sent to warn off the American warship USS Ross from near the country's territorial waters in the Black Sea, RIA reported, citing a military source.

"The crew of the ship acted provocatively and aggressively, which concerned the operators of monitoring stations and ships of the Black Sea Fleet," the source in the Russian armed forces in Crimea told RIA.

Su-24 attack jets were scrambled in response. They "demonstrated to the American crew readiness to harshly prevent a violation of the frontier and to defend the interests of the country," the source said. The destroyer then turned around and left for neutral waters.

"Apparently, the Americans have not forgotten the April 2014 incident when one Su-24 practically 'blacked out' all of the electronics on board the newest American destroyer Donald Cook," the source said.

There was no immediate comment from the Russian Defense Ministry or its US counterpart.

Saturday's incident is the latest in a series of border surveillance confrontations between Russia and the West. Europeans, especially the Baltic states, have repeatedly sounded the alarm over Russian jets coming close to their borders.

The description of the video on the Navy's 6th Fleet website says that both were"operating in international waters and airspace."
"[USS] Ross continued on her mission after observing the aircraft return to base. At no time did Ross act aggressively nor did she deviate from her planned operations. The conduct of her crew has been and continues to be professional. Ross' Sailors observed that the SU 24 carried no weapons – wings were ‘clean,'" the statement added.
However, according to a source in the Russian armed forces, cited by RIA Novosti news agency: "The crew of the ship acted provocatively and aggressively, which concerned the operators of monitoring stations and ships of the Black Sea Fleet." That was the reason why the Russian jet had to be scrambled to warn off the ship near Russian waters, the source said.

The Americans operate several warships in the Black Sea, close to Russia's naval bases. This includes NATO vessels operated by US allies, which keep showing up in the region.
