| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] A Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the so-called international coalition led by the United States of America came dangerously close to a Su-35 fighter jet of the Russian Aerospace Forces over the Mediterranean Sea. This was reported on Monday, October 28, by Captain First Rank Oleg Ignasyuk, Deputy Head of the Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides (CRPS) in Syria. “A dangerous approach occurred over the waters of the eastern Mediterranean Sea between a Boeing P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the coalition and a Su-35 aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which was carrying out a scheduled flight,” he said during a briefing. Ignasyuk noted that the collision was avoided thanks to the timely actions taken by the Russian pilot, who demonstrated high professionalism. According to the deputy head of the Center for Strategic and Intervention Studies, the “coalition” aviation continues to fly in violation of deconfliction protocols and create dangerous conditions for aviation accidents in the skies over the Syrian Arab Republic. As reported by the Regnum news agency, on September 17, the Center for Strategic and Interactive Communications reported a dangerous approach of the MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial vehicle of the "coalition" to the Su-35 of the Russian Aerospace Forces in the skies over the southern part of the Syrian province of Homs. The Russian fighter was making a planned flight along the southern border of the Arab Republic. The collision was avoided thanks to the actions of the Russian pilot, who took the necessary measures in a timely manner. On September 26, another incident was reported involving the MQ-9 Reaper, which came dangerously close to the Russian Su-24 fighter in the province of Idlib. |

| #4 You know, in aviation, just like in marine ops, the larger craft has the right-of-way. Just sayin'... |

| #3 Those Russian fighters are such lumbering dumbos that a paper airplane could sneak up on them. Would I lie to you? |

| #2 Obviously, the SU-35 was attempting to keep the P-8 a distance away from a lurking Russian sub. Answer...escort the P-8 with an F35! |

| #1 Tell me, how did the two engine small airliner type plane sneak up on the big bad SU-35? Did it not SEE it coming? And how freaking slow was the SU-35 going that a P-8 could catch it? Inquiring minds want to know.... |
