This potential provocation comes merely days after Russian aircraft forced a US drone into the Black Sea.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian Defense Ministry stated a Russian Su-35 was scrambled towards the US planes approaching Russia. However, the fighter returned to its base when the B-52s turned away. The statement included footage said to be from the Russian plane\u2019s cockpit, demonstrating one of the two US aircrafts.<\/p>\n<p>The Defense Ministry mentioned on the Telegram messaging app, \u201cOn March 20, radar facilities of the air defense forces of the Western military district on duty over the Baltic Sea detected two air targets flying in the direction of the Russian Federation\u2019s state border. No violation of the state border of the Russian Federation was permitted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There has been no immediate response from the US on this occurrence. The incident occurred as Chinese President Xi Jinping was in Moscow having discussions with Russian President Vladimir Putin, attempting to put an end to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, it followed two Russian nuclear bombers flying over the Sea of Japan for several hours, just as Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was visiting Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, Russian pilots harassed a $32 million US MQ-9 Reaper spy drone. The pilots dumped fuel on it before one of the Russian fighter jets collided with the surveillance drone\u2019s propeller, causing US forces to bring the drone down in international waters. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu celebrated the pilots\u2019 actions, claiming they prevented the drone from flying into airspace claimed by Russia. The White House called this \u201creckless\u201d but stated it had not determined if the Russian pilots intentionally downed the US drone.<\/p>\n<p>Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff stated, \u201cIncidents happen, and clearly we do not seek armed conflict with Russia, and I believe at this point we should investigate this incident and move on from there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"c-emoji c-emoji__medium c-emoji--inline\" data-qa=\"emoji\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-33170\"><\/span>\u00a0<b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;The views and opinions expressed here are solely those of the author of the article and not necessarily shared or endorsed by Conservative News Daily&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Russia said one of its fighter jets intercepted two U.S. B-52 bombers over the Baltic Sea on Monday, a potential provocation that comes just days after Russian planes forced a U.S. drone into the Black Sea.
