バルト海に展開中のアメリカ海軍のミサイル駆逐艦ドナルド・クック(DDG-75)に対し、2016年4月11日、12日の両日、ロシア軍のスホーイ24(Su-24)戦闘機2機が異常接近を行った。
4月11日：バルト海で同盟国軍へのヘリコプター着艦訓練を実施中の午後3時(現地時間)に2機のロシア軍Su-24戦闘機が低高度で接近したため、給油作業中の同盟国軍ヘリコプターは作業を止め、安全が確認されるまで訓練は中断された。
4月12日：午後5時(現地時間)ロシア軍のKa-27ヘリコプターが駆逐艦の周囲を低高度で7周旋回し、Ka-27が去った約40分後、2機のSu-24戦闘機が低高度での危険な異常接近を計11回繰り返した。

United States Navy destroyer operating in international waters in the Baltic Sea experienced several close interactions by Russian aircraft April 11 and 12.
USS Donald Cook (DDG 75) encountered multiple, aggressive flight maneuvers by Russian aircraft that were performed within close proximity of the ship.
On April 11, Donald Cook was conducting deck landing drills with an allied military helicopter when two Russian Sukhoi Su-24 jets made numerous close-range and low altitude passes at approximately 3 p.m. local. One of the passes, which occurred while the allied helicopter was refueling on the deck of Donald Cook, was deemed unsafe by the ship’s commanding officer. As a safety precaution, flight operations were suspended until the Su-24s departed the area.
On April 12, while Donald Cook was operating in international waters in the Baltic Sea, a Russian Ka-27 Helix helicopter conducted circles at low altitude around the ship, seven in total, at approximately 5 p.m. local. The helicopter passes were also deemed unsafe and unprofessional by the ship’s commanding officer. About 40 minutes following the interaction with the Russian helicopter, two Russian Su-24 jets made numerous close-range and low altitude passes, 11 in total. The Russian aircraft flew in a simulated attack profile and failed to respond to repeated safety advisories in both English and Russian. USS Donald Cook’s commanding officer deemed several of these maneuvers as unsafe and unprofessional.
