A leaked US military document reveals that a Russian fighter jet nearly shot down a British surveillance plane off the coast of Crimea in September 2020, an incident that could have drawn the US and NATO allies directly into the Ukraine war. The document refers to the incident as a "near-shoot down of UK RJ," and highlights the balancing act that Western military officials have sought to maintain as they attempt to aid the Ukrainian military and collect information about the war without being drawn directly into conflict with Moscow.
