>“On Sept 23, 2024, NORAD aircraft flew a safe and disciplined intercept of Russian Military Aircraft in the Alaska ADIZ. The conduct of one Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all – not what you’d see in a professional air force.” – Gen. Gregory Guillot

Couldn’t this be interpreted as a deliberate hostile action, and in turn, warrant a swift AIM-9X response from the F16 pilot?

Very simple. Inform them that next time this happens the russian planes will be shot down. When they try again, they will be shot down – message delivered. A bully only understands and respects violence. A bully sees diplomacy as a weakness.

I wonder how this happens in reality. Was it just too much wodka for the russian pilot or did he receive a command like “do a stupid flight maneuver!”.

Last line always comes to mind.
« Are there any Russians in the zone ? »
Getting their asses handed to them in Ukraine but pull shit like this on the other side of the world
And then puts himself in the easiest possible position to get himself shot down! Silly little Russki.

Shoulda put a sidewinder up his ass.
Ngl. When i read the post title i assumed exaggeration.
But nah that was pretty fuckin’ close.
Chinese pilots do this also. They try to “Flame out ” the American pilots jet engine. He is using his exhaust as a weapon.
holy shit…..
Clear provocation, shoot them down. What’s Russia going to do anyway? Attack the USA?
FOX 2…..
Clearly not one of those “good ruzzians” we hear so much about…
that Russian pilot is foolish. Something like this could quickly get out of hand.
He tried the Maverick move from Top Gun but of course faild. Its a Russia thing.
“Ебать!” – the Russian pilot most likely
Switches to cannons, baap baap!
Use the nuclear sidewinder … NOW!!
He’s too close for missiles, I’m switching to guns.
It’s the chinese method. Intimidation through any methods.
Should’ve shot it down.
Russian Aggression at it’s Finest
Eagle one, box two
F16 no balls, shoild have auto lock and shoot that SU-35S.
Again…no balls from American F-16
