I am neither paranoid, nor upset, or whatever,
but what Bulldawg says about *overflying*,
which happens all the time while he served,
is nothing compared to what happened during the 12 fly-overs, that Russian craft did,
PLUS, *completely disabling* all the most or many essential electronic equipment, on that vessel.
The article mentions *cooked*, which may mean, totally fried or
even not fixable anymore.
If that is the case, I would be upset, really upset !
"gravely demoralized" --- maybe ... highly unlikable.
Going anywhere, in anything, *blind* is nerve wrecking to say the least !
All this, if we have to believe *all* what was mentioned in the article!
This *incident* was apparently not important enough for more *at home* resources,
since this is the first time I notice it mentioned ...
(*happened all the time*)
I tend to believe bulldawg, a bit ... ,
since we used to buzz a lot of stuff,
we were not supposed to buzz.
(*I was navy and we used to just wave at them*)
I doubt tho, if anybody would wave at those pilots after you find out,
nothing works anymore !
AND ... to have that done to you 12 times !
Sadly, I have to admit, that the public seldom hears the whole truth.
If we, as the public, would know of everything,
all of the world does to each other, we would be having such a panic,
*Life*, as we know it, would be utterly miserable !
Consider who the resource is, and find out that *no USA* agency is a member of that resource ... !
