Footage of what appears to be a US P-8 Poseidon surveillance aircraft being intercepted by Russian warplanes while flying near the coast of Crimea has recently surfaced online, posted by a Russian journalist who claimed that the video was provided to him by one of his subscribers.
According to the caption, the incident occurred on 3 July, with the US aircraft conducting its flight about 75 kilometres away from the peninsula's coast.
Видео от подписчика. Пишут что это вчерашний перехват американского Р-8 у берегов Крыма. Наглядно видно, как близко они подлетают к полуострову. pic.twitter.com/o6QOK1pV8l
