STUTTGART, Germany (NNS) -- A United States Navy destroyer operating in
international waters in the Baltic Sea experienced several close
interactions by Russian aircraft on April 11 and 12.

USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) encountered multiple, aggressive flight maneuvers
by Russian aircraft that were performed within close proximity of the ship.

On April 11, Donald Cook was conducting deck landing drills with an allied
military helicopter when two Russian SU-24 jets made numerous close-range
and low altitude passes at approximately 3 p.m. local. One of the passes,
which occurred while the allied helicopter was refueling on the deck of
Donald Cook, was deemed unsafe by the ship's commanding officer. As a safety
precaution, flight operations were suspended until the SU-24s departed the
area.

On April 12, while Donald Cook was operating in international waters in the
Baltic Sea, a Russian KA-27 Helix helicopter conducted circles at low
altitude around the ship, seven in total, at approximately 5 p.m. local. The
helicopter passes were also deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the ship's
commanding officer. About 40 minutes following the interaction with the
Russian helicopter, two Russian SU-24 jets made numerous close-range and low
altitude passes, 11 in total. 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.

Quotes:

"April 11-12, USS Donald Cook was operating in a professional manner in
international waters conducting operations and exercises with our allies in
the Baltic Sea."

"In my judgement these maneuvers in close proximity to Donald Cook are
unprofessional and unsafe."

-Commander, U.S. Naval Forces Europe-Africa, Adm. Mark Ferguson

Quick Facts:

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.

U.S. officials are using existing diplomatic channels to address the
interactions while the incidents are also being reviewed through U.S. Navy
channels.
