Looks like Russia is sparking tensions once again as it had numerous aircraft flyby on a US Warship.

This comes as Russia is also increasing their submarine presence.
www.cnn.com...
It seems Russia is really ramping things up lately. With plans to upgrade 12 naval bases along the arctic circle we should be keeping an eye on Russia very closely. Is this another cold war or is Russia actually planning to continue what they started with Ukraine ?

Bull. Even if they were armed they wouldn't have done anything. The entire thing took place in international waters.
Well first of all the mig's were unarmed or the US missile destroyer would have taken action, it could have shot down several squadrons of these mig's with no need for any back up and is more highly advanced than the equivalent Russian missile destroyers.

They sure were playing it up on CNN. Saying they haven't seen anything like this since the cold war and so forth. They should change CNN to FNN (fear news network)

This is the first time it's happened with a ship. It's actually different against ships because there's more chance for error or accident with flight ops going on.
