A RUSSIAN jet came just feet from crashing into a US military plane – avoiding what could have been a devastating mid-air collision.
The Russian Su-27 fighter jet targeted the US reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea in April – narrowly missing it by 20ft.
A research group has reportedly recorded dozens of similar encounters between Russian fighter jets and Western planes since the Russian annexation of the Crimea in March 2014.
