Two Russian Su-24 attack aircraft Monday conducted a “simulated attack profile” against the USS Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea, with one of the jets on Tuesday flying within 30 feet of the destroyer.

The USS Donald Cook was in the Baltic Sea conducting a training exercise with a Polish helicopter. According to one defense official, this particular run-in with the Russians*is “more aggressive than anything we’ve seen in some time.” The Polish helicopter’s operations were interrupted by the overflight.

The destroyer was about 70 nautical miles from Kaliningrad on April 11, and the two SU-24s apparently made about 20 passes of the vessel.

“We have deep concerns about the unsafe and unprofessional Russian flight maneuvers,” U.S. European Command said in a statement, according to The Washington Post. “These actions have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions between countries, and could result in a miscalculation or accident that could cause serious injury or death. U.S. officials are using existing diplomatic channels to address the interactions, while the incidents are also being reviewed through U.S. Navy channels.”

The aerobatics skills of Russian pilots over the US destroyer Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea left the Pentagon and other US official running for cover in Washington over “aggressive close interactions” with Russian fighter jets.
Trends
Russia-NATO relations
Releasing the footage of Russian jet flybys in the vicinity of the destroyer, the US Navy said that its vessel has encountered multiple “aggressive flight maneuvers ...within close proximity of the ship,” some as close as 30 feet (10 meters) on Monday and Tuesday.

The set of incidents took place as the US ship, which had sailed from the Polish port of Gdynia, was conducting exercises with its NATO ally Poland in the Baltic Sea. The Navy announced that the SU-24 first flew over Donald Cook on Monday as US sailors were rehearsing “deck landing drills with an allied [Polish] military helicopter”. The numerous close-range, low altitude encounters were witnessed at 3:00pm local time, forcing the commander of the ship to suspend helicopter refueling on the deck until the Russian jets departed the area.


The Donald Cook happened to be around 70km away from a Russian naval base when the Su-24 planes passed by, according to the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov.

“On April 13, the pilots of the Russian Air Force Su-24 planes took part in a training exercise over international waters in the Baltic Sea. Their route took them to an area where the USS Donald Cook was present, around 70km from a Russian naval base,” he said, as cited by TASS.

Konashenkov added that all flights undertaken by the Russian Air Force strictly follow all international rules when traveling over neutral waters.

“Having located the ship in a zone of visual sight, the Russian pilots undertook a maneuver that was in accordance with all the necessary safety rules,” he said, while they Russian Defense Ministry questioned why the Americans were making such a big deal about the incident.*

The next day, the Navy said, Russia caused concern among US sailors when a Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter flew seven times over the ship at low altitude in international waters at around 5:00pm. Some 40 minutes later, two Russian SU-24 jets allegedly made a further 11 “close-range and low altitude passes”.

“The Russian aircraft flew in a simulated attack profile and failed to respond to repeated safety advisories in both English and Russian. USS Donald Cook’s commanding officer deemed several of these maneuvers as unsafe and unprofessional,” the Navy said.

Judging by the videos released by the US Navy, the sailors were nonplussed by the Russian aerobatic skills. They gathered on the top deck of the destroyer to watch the Russian pilots.


“He is on the deck below the bridge lane...It looks like he’ll be coming in across the flight deck, coming in low, bridge wing level...Over the bow, right turn, over the bow...” the voiceover on the footage states in what looks more like an instructor’s advice on how to maneuver in open waters, rather than the panic that the central command presented it to be. At least on the video no one can be seen running for cover.

According to a US defense official who spoke with Defense News, sailors aboard the Donald Cook claimed that the Russian jets’ low altitude stirred waters and created wake underneath the ship. US personnel on the American vessels, also claimed that Su-24 was “wings clean,” meaning no armaments were present on the Russian jets that could have posed a threat to US operations in the Baltic.


Yet at the same time, the official noted, that this week's incidents are “more aggressive than anything we’ve seen in some time,” as the SU-24 appeared to be flying in a “simulated attack profile.”

The Russian overflights have caused panic over in Washington, with White House spokesman Josh Earnest calling the actions of the Russian pilots “provocative” and “inconsistent with professional norms of militaries.”

“I hear the Russians are up to their old tricks again in the EUCOM [US European Command] AOR [area of responsibility],” Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Col. Steve Warren said during a briefing on Wednesday, adding that the US is “concerned with this behavior.”

“We have deep concerns about the unsafe and unprofessional Russian flight maneuvers. These actions have the potential to unnecessarily escalate tensions between countries, and could result in a miscalculation or accident that could cause serious injury or death,” the US European Command said in a statement.

In the meantime Adm. John Richardson, the chief of naval operations, thanked the US crew for keeping their cool during the stressful situation.

“Bravo Zulu to the crew of USS Donald Cook for their initiative and toughness in how they handled themselves during this incident,” the admiral said on Facebook.

Russia has yet to comment on the incidents but most likely the Russian air craft flew from the Kaliningrad region, bordering Poland. Kaliningrad is the headquarters of the Russian Baltic Fleet, which also includes the Chernyakhovsk, Donskoye, and Kaliningrad Chkalovsk air bases.

Attack no need so close one lah.

You think still using ww2 bombs meh?

They are just saying top gun hi to the crew lah.

You are right. Depending on the type of missile or torpedoes carried by the attacking planes, from 30; 50;200;300;3000km can sink ships.

But the Video showed fly pass in attack speed. Too fast to Say Hi, can not see. Want say Hi need to be way slower almost like landing speed.





kh-101 can attack carrier 300km away, it's twin brother kh-102 is same but with NUKE.

The pilots were trying to order from pizzahut and hope the ships can help relay a message for them as their house line is down. Seems like plenty of people at home ordering sides. Hope they hv discount coupons that is acceptable.

i think the SU24 was simulating a missile attack on thomas cook, which the missile was the SU24 itself.

the purpose is to see USN's C&C reaction in event of a missile attack. assese USN training and efficiency. Maybe there a russian electronic warfare aircraft in the area to record the USS thomas cook aegis combat system in the event the captain of USS thomas cook turn on the aegis combat system to force the SU24 to back off. And all those electronic devices very delicate and the jet wash from the SU24 may event damage the system.

 

[steffychun]

Russians should do that to one of the RSN's toy boats. See how the scholar admirals react

 

[nkfnkfnkf]

Putin is looking for opportunity to sink US warships proactively near Russian Territory. SU-24 was an un-armed BAIT for US to shoot. Deliberately lure and bait the US by flying over so near.

Once US ship shot the bait, it will be sanked and Putin have a good case. You came near to my homeland uninvited, with warship, shot my unarmed training pilot. You are invader, Russia exercised lawful rights of self-defense. You just LAN-LAN.

Huat Ah!




This missile 4.5tons when fired from SG will hit ships off Muar Johore or even Meleka coast (depending on which variant models), within 6~10mins from launch. The warhead can be a nuke.

The P-270 Moskit (Russian: ?-270 «??????»; English: Mosquito) is a Russian supersonic ramjet powered Anti-Ship missile. Its GRAU designation is 3M80, air launched Kh-41 and its NATO reporting name is SS-N-22 Sunburn. The missile system was designed by the Raduga Design Bureau during the 1970s as a follow up to the "SS-N-9 Siren". The Moskit was originally designed to be ship-launched, but variants have been adapted to be launched from land (modified trucks), underwater (submarines) and air (reportedly the Sukhoi Su-33, a naval variant of the Sukhoi Su-27), as well as on the Lun-class ekranoplan. The missile can carry conventional and nuclear warheads. The exact classification of the missile is unknown, with varying types reported. This uncertainty is due to the secrecy surrounding an active military weapon. The Moskit is one of the missiles known by the NATO codename SS-N-22 Sunburn.

The missile has been purchased and exported to the People's Liberation Army Navy (China) and Indian Navy (India).

Design

It reaches a speed of Mach 3 at high altitude and Mach 2.2 at low-altitude. This speed is triple the speed of the subsonic American Harpoon. When slower missiles, like the Harpoon or the French Exocet are used, the maximum theoretical response time for the defending ship is 120 to 150 seconds. This long response time provides time to launch countermeasures and employ jamming before deploying "hard" defense systems such as missiles and close-in weapon systems. But the high speed of the 3M82 "Mosquito" missiles reduce the maximum theoretical response time for the defending ship to 25 to 30 seconds. This short response time makes jamming and countermeasures very difficult, and firing missiles and quick-firing artillery even more difficult. The Moskit was designed to be employed against smaller NATO naval groups in the Baltic Sea (Danish and German) and the Black Sea (Turkish) and non-NATO vessels in the Pacific (Japanese, South Korean, etc.), and to defend the Russian mainland against NATO amphibious assault.[4] The missile can perform intensive anti-defense maneuvers with overloads in excess of 10g, which completed for 9 km before the target.[5][2][6]

Variants of the missile have been designated 3M80M, 3M82 (Moskit M).[7] The P-270 designation is believed to be the initial product codename for the class of missile, with the Russian Ministry of Defense GRAU indices (starting with 3M) designating the exact variant of the missile. The 3M80 was its original model. The 3M80M model (also termed 3M80E for export) was a 1984 longer range version of the missile, with the latest version with the longest range being the 3M82 Moskit M. The ASM-MSS / Kh-41 variant is the air-launched version of the missile.

The 3M80MVE variant has an optional longer 240 km range through a second, high-altitude flight profile setting, however using the higher altitude profile would make the missile detectable at much greater distances.[8]
