Close Encounter Between NATO F-16 And Russian MiG-31 Caught On Tape

admin Alternative Media, Blogosphere, Geopolitics

Once upon a time, the only place where a western fighter jet could come within meters of a Russian MiG was on Top Gun.
However, according to a video released earlier today by the Norwegian Armed Forces, that is no longer the case.
In the clip, a Russian MiG-31 “suddenly cut in front of one of two Norwegian aircraft sent up by NATO to intercept Russian aircraft in international airspace north off Norway. ‘What the hell,’ says the Norwegian F-16 pilot in the video, as he dodges the MiG-31 passing him at a distance estimated to be closer than 20 meters (65 feet).”
