[Regnum] US authorities claim that the Russian pilot allegedly created a dangerous situation for the crew members of the American MS-12 aircraft in the sky over Syria, the Associated Press agency reports, citing sources in the White House.

It is noted that on July 16, a Russian fighter allegedly flew very close to the MS-12, forcing it through a turbulent wake.

According to the interlocutors of the agency, we are talking about "a new level of unsafe behavior that can lead to an accident or death."

As IA Regnum reported , the Pentagon is concerned about the increased, in their opinion, Russian activity in the skies over Syria and intends to fight it. Now the defense department is considering a number of military options.

In the United States, it is not ruled out that Russia will begin to shoot down Reaper drones.

Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov, in response to US accusations of unprofessional behavior in the Syrian sky of Russian pilots, said that they go beyond the bounds of decency and lack common sense.

#1  As long as I can remember, planes from Russia, Iran, Eastern Europe, China, North Korea and the Little Sisters of the poor have created incidents with American planes. Our response uniformally has been to bend over and say, 'oh please, can I have another.'
