Aug. 29 (UPI) -- Two Russian Su-27 Flanker pilots intercepted a U.S. Air Force B-52 bomber over international waters in the Black Sea Friday, according to the Air Force.
A press release issued by the service Saturday said the Russian pilots "flew in an unsafe and unprofessional manner" while crossing within 100 feet of the B-52, causing turbulence and restricting the B-52's ability to maneuver.
