An air traffic controller and aircraft enthusiast named Phil Drake has captured astonishing footage of U.S. Airforce training exercise taking place outside of the notorious Area 51 military complex. Drake captured the incredible scene involved a Russian-made fighter jet mock fighting in mid-air with a US Air Force F-16. According to Drake, the video was captured on the same day that Donald Trump won victory in the presidential election – 8th November 2016.

According to Drake, something on an expert on aircraft from all over the world, the Russian jet being used in the test operation was a Su-27P Flanker-B, a model which has never been officially imported to the United States. This revelation raises serious questions about how the U.S. Military came to be in possession of Russian military hardware. Perhaps more importantly, the exercise raises questions about what the U.S. Military is preparing for in the imminent future.

This kind of test exercise is fairly common when the United States is preparing to go to war with a country. They like to practice air to air combat with the kind of planes they know that their potential enemy will be using to discover weak spots to give them an advantage in an actual combat situation. They also like to try out their most recently developed weapons on the planes to see how effective they would be against enemy technology.

The fact that the U.S. Military is engaging in mock dog-fights with Russian planes has led to many expressing their fears that the two countries are hanging on the precipice of an all-out war. Tensions between the two countries have been sharply rising in recent years with Russia’s annexation of Crimea, the situation in Syria and the alleged cyber-attack on the Democrat Party all resulting in condemnation from the American government. Could it be that America’s leaders are seriously considering an armed confrontation with Russia?

According to Drake, this might be the case. He said that there had been rumors that the Americans have been conducting this kind of test operation in the skies over Area 51 for approximately twenty years. Therefore, it may be that this particular exercise is not linked to the current political situation but was a rather routine exercise.
