Polish jet loses control after 'aggressive' Russian fighter plane crosses five metres in front

A Polish military aircraft nearly crashed into the Black Sea after a Russian fighter jet crossed its path in a series of “aggressive and dangerous” manoeuvres.

Pilots briefly lost control of the twin-propeller surveillance plane when they experienced turbulence and were forced to make an emergency landing.

It was the latest mid-air incident between Nato and Russian aircraft, which have repeatedly come in close contact along Europe’s borders this year.

A spokesman for the Polish government said: “The crew of five Polish border guard officers lost control of the plane and lost altitude. The Russian warplane flew right in front of the nose of the plane, crossing its flight path at a dangerous distance. According to the crew’s assessment, it was about five metres away.”
