In a reckless Arctic provocation amid its global humiliations, two Russian Su-35 fighters aggressively buzzed a U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon patrol aircraft near Greenland on March 10 — barrel-rolling within 50 feet and firing decoy flares in blatant violation of international airspace rules.

The U.S. response was swift and overwhelming. F-22 Raptors from Thule Air Base in Greenland scrambled in minutes, intercepting the intruders at Mach 2+. In a 90-second dogfight display, American pilots executed textbook maneuvers, forcing both Su-35s into emergency retreats with AIM-120 AMRAAM warningsH๏τs exploding ahead of their cockpits. One Russian jet suffered minor damage from wake turbulence and shrapnel; the other fled leaking fuel. NORAD footage shows the Raptors dominating — Russia’s “provocation” ended in total embarrᴀssment.

Pentagon: “Unsafe, unprofessional. We protected our ᴀssets without escalation — but won’t tolerate threats.”

This stunt follows Russia’s naval nightmares: Pyotr Velikiy sunk by USS George H.W. Bush in 37s, two supply ships obliterated, Sevastopol erased by Ukraine, 23 ghost ships seized by UK. Moscow’s desperate bid to distract from propping up Iran’s collapsing regime — sans Khamenei, air force, navy; after Hormuz clash with France’s FS Alsace and Houthi annihilation by USS Abraham Lincoln.

President Trump: “Russia pokes everywhere — loses everywhere. Our Air Force is unbeatable.”

Iran’s ballistic fury on Israel (165 waves, Tel Aviv hammered, 12 ᴅᴇᴀᴅ) falters as U.S./Israel erase 80% air defenses. Oil at $125/bbl, but victory stabilizes markets.

For Iranians, Russia’s Arctic flop signals patron weakness. Axis fractures. Operation Epic Fury surges — Tehran’s end nears. Free world dominates.
