#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....

#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!

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