Washington • Russian attack planes buzzed a U.S. Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea multiple times Monday and Tuesday, coming as close as an estimated 30 feet from the ship and twice passing below the ship's navigation bridge, U.S. officials said Wednesday.

The Russian Su-24 planes appeared unarmed but on Tuesday flew what the commander of the USS Donald Cook deemed to be a simulated attack profile. The Cook's commander judged the actions unsafe and unprofessional, but the ship took no action beyond trying unsuccessfully to communicate with the aircraft by radio, according to a statement by U.S. European Command.........


Also found it in the Navy Times with what has to be one of the best quotes ever by a Naval Officer.

"You don’t get to kill people just because they’re being annoying,"

If this happens again we can't remain passive. Hopefully we at least locked in on these idiots. Does anybody know if we have the capability to fry their electronics? Not just jam them but render them useless.
I just read another article that discussed the situation with US Marine aviation. Many, if not most, of their aircraft are sitting on the ground due to budget cutbacks. This is too reminiscent of the 70's! I'll stop here to avoid politics.

Was thinking the same thing.
