A U.S. Navy destroyer in the Baltic Sea had a close encounter with two Russian fighter jets that were carrying out "aggressive" flight maneuvers close to the ship*on Monday and Tuesday.
The planes were seen buzzing the deck in videos and images released by*United States European Command, which oversees the area where the ship was operating.
"In my judgement these maneuvers... are unprofessional and unsafe." said*Commander Adm. Mark Ferguson in a statement.*
The USS Donald Cook was conducting deck landing drills of a helicopter on April 11 when two Russian SU-24 jets made several close passes over the ship, according to a press release.
