- The Su-35 nearly hits the Su-30, both which are heavily armed

- The US recently slammed Russia when the same fighter jet nearly hit a US plane
- The jet leaves a huge trail of smoke behind in its high speed pass
This is the jaw-dropping moment when a heavily armed Russian fighter jet almost wipes out his wingman in an incredibly close call.
The Su-35 nearly hits the Su-30 both which are heavily armed and are believed to be stationed in Syria.
The Su-30 is believed to have a R-77 on board, an electronic warfare pod known as the ‘Amraamski’ which has only recently been seen flying over Syria.
US and British airforces wouldn’t make the same level of of parallel maneuvering over safety fears, according to aviation website The Drive.

The US recently slammed what it described as an ‘unsafe intercept on one of its next-generation planes’ after the same type of Russian fighter jet came within a mere 15 metres of it.
Last month, another Su-30 came as close as 50 feet from the US aircraft in international airspace.
The plane is designed to improve anti-submarine warfare and it also has anti-surface missile capabilities.
It is described as an anti-submarine warfare, anti-shipping, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft and was intercepted by a Russian Su-30 fighter jet.
