US Naval Forces Europe-Africa released more footage on Wednesday of a Russian fighter jet coming within five feet of a US Navy plane on Monday.

A Russian Su-27 intercepting a US Navy EP-3 Aries signals reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea flew within five feet of the American plane, according to the Navy. The intercept lasted two hours and 40 minutes.

"These videos show the Russian Su-27 intercepting the EP-3 from a very close position, at the same altitude, and with an estimated wingtip-to-wingtip horizontal separation as little as five feet at times," US Navy Capt. Bill Ellis, commander of Task Force 67, said in the Navy statement. "For the Russian fighter aircraft to fly this close to the US Navy aircraft, especially for extended periods of time, is unsafe."

"The smallest lapse of focus or error in airmanship by the intercepting aircrew can have disastrous consequences, Ellis said. "There is no margin for error and insufficient time or space for our aircrews to take corrective action."

The US Navy released the first video on Tuesday, and five more on Wednesday. 

The Russian Defense Ministry denied the US Navy's allegations on Monday, saying that it "took place in accordance with international rules of airspace use."

The incident on Monday was the latest of several alleged unsafe intercepts and maneuvers between US and Russian fighter jets.
