Russian SU-24's Fly Within 30 FT of US Warship

Russian SU-24 aircraft flew within 30 feet of a U.S. Navy ship USS Donald Cook in the Baltic Sea. This is dangerously close according to US Naval Pilots and was basically a series of simulated strafing runs.

It is suspected that this cold war-esque maneuver was done to send a message to Polish Military forces that were training with the US Ship in International waters. Due to the repeated close fly-by attempts, the Polish team was unable to perform their scheduled helicopter training over the period of two days.
