Russia pilot tried to shoot down RAF aircraft in 2022 - BBC News

A Russian pilot tried to shoot down an RAF surveillance plane after believing he had permission to fire, the BBC has learned.
The pilot fired two missiles, the first of which missed rather than malfunctioned as claimed at the time.
Russia had claimed the incident last September was caused by a "technical malfunction".
The UK's Ministry of Defence (MoD) publicly accepted the Russian explanation.
But now three senior Western defence sources, with knowledge of the incident, have told the BBC that Russian communications intercepted by the RAF RC-135 Rivet Joint aircraft give a very different account from the official version.
