Watch Russian MiG-31 intercepting HUSKY53, a USAF RC-135V, over the Pacific

The Russian Ministry of Defense has released a video showing one of its MiG-31 intercepting a U.S. Air Force RC-135V over the Pacific Ocean.


Based on the tail number seen in the video, the aircraft is #64-14848 with callsign HUSKY53. Flight tracking websites show the spy plane entering the Pacific from deep inside Alaska. Probably from Eielson Air Force Base.
