WATCH: Russian Destroyer Nearly Collides With U.S. Missile Carrier After ‘Unsafe Maneuver’

The U.S. Navy says a Russian destroyer came as close as 50 feet from a U.S. guided missile cruiser in the Philippine Sea, releasing dramatic footage that showed the two massive ships nearly colliding.

The USS Chancellorsville nearly struck the Udaloy I DD 572 after the Russian ship made an “unsafe maneuver,” the Navy’s 7th Fleet said in a statement. The U.S. ship had to take extreme measures to avoid a crash.
