美國指責俄羅斯黑海上空危險攔截

The United States accused Russia of sending one of its fighter jets dangerously close to an American spy plane over the Black Sea on Wednesday, an intercept American military officials said was "unsafe and uNPRofessional," even as Moscow said it acted in accordance with international flight rules.

The U.S. said its Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft was on "routine operations" in international airspace when a Russian SU-27 Flanker jet flew within three meters of it in an intercept that lasted 19 minutes.

"U.S. Navy aircraft and ships routinely interact with Russian units in the area and most interactions are safe and professional," the U.S. Defense Department said. "However, we have concerns when there is an unsafe maneuver like this. These actions have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions, and could result in a miscalculation or accident."

The Russian defense ministry said it dispatched its fighter jet after the U.S. aircraft approached the Russian border and turned off its transponders, which are used for identification.美國指責俄羅斯派遣一架噴氣戰鬥機星期三在黑海上空“危險地”逼近一架美國偵察機。美國軍方官員說，這種攔截“不安全、不專業”。而莫斯科方面則稱，俄方飛機的行動符合國際飛行規定。

美國表示，俄羅斯蘇27側衛噴氣戰鬥機飛到距離美國海軍P-8A海神偵察機三米距離時，美國飛機是在國際空域進行“常規操作”。俄羅斯軍機的攔截行動持續了19分鐘。

美國國防部說，“美國海軍飛機和船隻經常在這個區域與俄羅斯飛機和船隻相遇，大多數情況下，這種相遇都是安全和專業的。” “但是我們對類似這次的不安全相遇行動感到擔憂。這種行動具有導致不必要緊張的可能性，可能會引起誤判或事故。”

俄羅斯國防部表示，俄羅斯方面是在美國飛機接近俄羅斯邊界並關閉了確認身份的應答器之後才下令戰鬥機升空的。
