It’s been claimed that a Russian pilot deliberately tried to shoot down a RAF spy plane last year, believing he had been given permission to fire.
Russia blamed a “technical malfunction” for the incident over the Black Sea. But intercepted communications reportedly suggest the pilot fired after receiving an ambiguous command from a Russian ground controller.
Professor Michael Clarke has analysed reports detailing a “dangerous” incident involving two Russian jets and a RAF aircraft over the Black Sea.

How can a sophisticated modern air to air missile „miss“ or „loose lock“ on a huge plane??? That seems odd for me. Also this video is obviously not objective (how can It be in such a situation) but I wonder what really was going on.
I realise we don’t want a nuclear war, but in view of Russia’s continued bullying and brinkmanship shouldn’t we just defend ourselves and shoot them down as soon as they attack our aircraft? I’m a veteran and from what I see is every time be ignore this provocation we are back in the world of appeasement, Chamberlain, self defence involving shooting down an attack by a foreign power will not result in a nuclear war but will more likely put them back in the box.
I mourn the death of our once valiant RAF thanks to positive discrimination and Wokeness!!!
A fighter not in the actual sensor of the missile will not be able to jam for another aircraft that is. That aircraft must defend itself. Which I’m sure it did.
Any war and the uk be done
We’ll keep your nose out of other peoples businesses 💪🇷🇺
How about we stop provoking, we are not defending UK airspace are we. Nato airspace? Its an efin warzone!
I bet they stopped because an F22 in stealth mode swung onto their 6 o’clock
So what if they did? Russian su 24 did not fly to England but they did. Or raf too good to be shot at?
More faulty Russian equipment
I am not advocating on the Russian side, but one must comprehend and understand possible the thoughts that Russian military personnel may think when seeing such Planes near the war zone. The UK and NATO might not be pulling the trigger, but they are aiming the gun. Spy Planes are marking targets for Ukraine. Thus tensions will only escalate till we all are in a war.
Praying for peace 🙏
That shoot of the British plane would have been WW3
Wtf we are doing there . Why we are provoking them ?
Good article, level headed and informative.. Very alarming indeed! Great thanks, Prof. Clark!.
well the spy plane is engaging in the war, i mean. its kind of wild they havent
He knows all that information but doesn't know where the spy plane was shot at? 🫠
Satanic grandstanding that leads to more bloodshed in Ukraine
If yes that will be good for Russia!!
"Just manually locked on, disabled the safety and fired a AA missile, whoopsies! Must have been allergies"
aim small miss small.
Brilliant attack of ukraine to take out air defenses first i think they got a plan to bomb all the vital target in crimea
“I’ll take “Thing Neutral Countries Don’t Do” for six million, Alex!”
Imagen if china or russua flew fighters in usa air space !!@
Why are we rehashing this news from a year ago ?
RAF is NOT the only ones operating crewed survalence aircraft in that area. USAF also operates RC135 and is also in the region and rotates missions beteween RAF and USAF.
Flying a manned surveillance aircraft in an active warzone is asking to be shootdown.
Pretty ballsy of the UK to conduct surveillance flights there, especially manned. Kudos to Sky for calling it a spy plane; that's what it was doing after all. No doubt Ukraine has made use of that surveillance data to strike targets in Crimea.
Wat kind of war is this
It shouldn't be over the black sea spying on Russia
Haha ' I don't know about a full scale war " yeah be quiet silly media toddler
Russia are just lucky it didn’t hit. We would be at war
Skvelé video! Naozaj mám otázku. Ako by ste odporučili niekomu, kto má investovať menej ako 10 000 dolárov, aby vstúpil na kryptotrh? Radšej študujem niektorých obchodníkov a kopírujem ich stratégiu, než investujem do seba a emocionálne strácam peniaze. Čo odporúčate prijať tento prístup?
how to forget the russians flying next to american planes to spy on them to give the vietnamese, iraqi, nkoreans, afghans, data
ah no
September.. last year? Yeah ok.. no news here.. moving right along..
Why does everyone say we didn't start when England clearly is in the wrong
Russia would just annihilate the UK in a NY minute if ever there's a war between the two.
İf they had it would have been a olur of scrap. Just like the rest of the over priced crap NATO weapons.
Russia should fired missile at every hostile NATO countries millitary, not only RAF obviously
What British plans doing in black Sea
What would UK do if Russia send surveillance Aircraft to its borders 🤔
What the F was it surveilling? In that segment?
Keep poking the bear.
Ww3 maybe
So we're still pretending that we are not already in WW3 I see.
We need to get Russian pilots some better targeting equipment. They'd to the world a favor by NOT missing.
What is the spy plane doing there? Spying?
Take down the Russian air defences so they can attack more civilians while claiming to be fighting for everyones freedom and democracy
Its all over Russia has won.
It shouldn't have been there to begin with.
