The French Ministry of Defence reported on the dangerous behaviour of Russian Su-35 fighters in Syria. Russian pilots had "unprofessional" approaches to a pair of French multitasking Rafale aircraft, which they had to maneuver to minimize the hazard of an accident. All of this in little than 24 hours after the incident, erstwhile Russian fighters attempted to destruct 3 U.S. MALE MQ-9A Reaper class drones.
