Su-24 buzzes NATO warship, releasing heat flares during flyby
2025-06-20
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian Su-24MR fighter caused panic on board a NATO warship by firing heat flares while flying around the vessel. The corresponding footage appeared online on Thursday, June 19.
The 'MR' designation means it is a maritime reconnaissance aircraft.
The North Atlantic Alliance ship, which presumably belongs to the US Navy, was in the Baltic Sea at the time of the incident. Suddenly, a Russian military aircraft flew over the ship at low altitude. The footage shows the emotions that the Russian fighter jet caused in English-speaking sailors.
Russian idiots. In these fraught times, they would not enjoy the result if the Americans responded in anger.
According to the Telegram channel "Two Majors", the Russian Aerospace Forces are protecting the fleet, which supplies oil to foreign markets. However, it is not specified when exactly the video was filmed.

#3  We had our chance to deploy our troops in Ukraine, right on the Russian border and attack.
But no. We could be in Moscow by now.
It's summer, good weather. But starting a campaign now, it's too late. We saw what happened the last time someone tried this. Even with winter coats the Russian winter is no joke.
The US Army is not an arctic-weather army, it is a desert army.
