Did A Russian Fighter Jet Buzz A U.S. Destroyer And Succesfully Disabled Its Radar And Defense Systems?

What Frightened The USS Donald Cook So Much In The Black Sea? -- Voltaire Net

The State Department acknowledged that the crew of the destroyer USS Donald Cook has been gravely demoralized ever since their vessel was flown over in the Black Sea by a Russian Sukhoi-24 (Su-24) fighter jet which carried neither bombs nor missiles but only an electronic warfare device.



On 10 April 2014, the USS Donald Cook entered the waters of the Black Sea and on 12 April a Russian Su-24 tactical bomber flew over the vessel triggering an incident that, according to several media reports, completely demoralized its crew, so much so that the Pentagon issued a protest [1].



The USS Donald Cook (DDG-75) is a 4th generation guided missile destroyer whose key weapons are Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of up to 2,500 kilometers, and capable of carrying nuclear explosives. This ship carries 56 Tomahawk missiles in standard mode, and 96 missiles in attack mode.

My Comment: This is a huge story .... if it is true. But when I did a quick check on the internet I found only Infowars was doing any reporting on this story . No one else is touching the story .. and no one is denying it.



If on the off-chance that this story is true ... I would not be overly concerned. Such a plane would be shot down rather quickly in the event of hostilities, and now that we know what are the capabilities of this Russian technology .... I am sure that countermeasures are being developed right now.
