After Biden inauguration: Russian fighter jet buzzes US warship in international waters in the Black Sea

Next we'll see what the Iranians do in the Persian Gulf. Our newest president usually gets tested by America's adversaries, though the Russians have been doing this all along. TD

 American Military News  "On Sunday, a Russian Su-24 buzzed the USS Donald Cook (DDG 75), an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, as the U.S. Navy ship transited the Black Sea. The Russian fighter jet flew a low pass within a couple hundred yards of the ship and the incident was caught on camera.

"The U.S. 6th Fleet shared video of the incident and tweeted, “The @USNavy routinely operates in the Black Sea to reassure @NATO Allies & partners and ensure security & stability in the region. Today, #USSDonaldCook operating in international waters in the #BlackSea while a #Russian SU-24 does a low pass nearby. #PowerForPeace.' ”
