I don't think the Il-38 qualifies as a "jet".

Great bit of journalism, Douchebag.

 

Good thing checking facts isn't a requirement anymore.

It wouldn't make much of a headline if it said "Old as s**t Russian prop-driven patrol planes manage to make it to the navy exercise"

I dont know why people are so excited. Its a normal thing that planes attempt to recon something. The US and NATO birds are doing the same if russian surface groups are on excercise.
