    A U.S. RC-135U flying in international airspace over the Baltic
    Sea was intercepted by a Russian SU-27 Flanker June 19, 2017. Due to the high rate of
    closure speed and poor control of the aircraft during the intercept, this
    interaction was determined to be unsafe. (Courtesy photo/Released)
