Russian Aggression Takes to the Skies: What This Means for Global Security The latest incident between Russia and the UK over the Black Sea is a stark reminder of escalating tensions between major world powers.
On April 28, two Russian jets repeatedly intercepted a British Royal Air Force surveillance aircraft in international airspace, triggering emergency systems on the British plane.
The intercepts were described as "dangerously" close by the UK's Defence Minister John Healey, who warned that such actions create a serious risk of accidents and potential escalation.
