About this video

A Russian fighter jet intercepted a U.S. Navy P-8 Poseidon spy plane over the Black Sea — and for the first time, rare images revealed its SECRET radar system deployed in flight. The Boeing P-8 Poseidon, one of the most advanced maritime patrol and anti-submarine aircraft in the world, was flying a four-hour mission from Sigonella, Italy, when it was confronted by a Russian Su-30.

In this video, we break down exactly what happened, how the intercept unfolded, and why the exposure of the Poseidon’s AN/APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor is such a big deal. You’ll also discover what makes the P-8 Poseidon so powerful: its advanced radar, sonobuoys, crew stations, and deadly Mk-54 torpedoes designed to hunt submarines.

We’ll explore the inside of the P-8, its role in intelligence and surveillance, and the growing U.S. Navy presence in the Black Sea — one of the world’s most tense hotspots where American and Russian forces face off almost daily.

⚠️ With tensions rising between NATO and Russia, every encounter in the Black Sea could spark a dangerous escalation. Was this just routine, or a sign of something bigger?
