Russian jet barrel-rolls over U.S. aircraft

A U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plane was barrel-rolled by a Russian jet over the Baltic Sea during a routine flight in international airspace, U.S. European Command said Saturday, but Russia disputed that account.

Russia is denying their fighter jet performed a barrel roll over a U.S. Air Force reconnaissance plane. They issued a statement that they, identified a aircraft flying at a high rate of speed toward their borders and they sent an interceptor, which turned around after visually identifying the U.S. aircraft.
