    The Russian military says it scrambled a fighter jet to escort a U.S. intelligence plane over the Baltic Sea.

    The Defense Ministry did not say when the incident happened as it released a video shot from the Su-27 fighter's cockpit as it was approaching the U.S. RC-135 aircraft. It added Thursday that the fighter returned to its base after the U.S. plane flew away.
