When did ZATO become a nation? Was this a recent development? I suppose I missed that.

And we're supposed to take ZATO's word that that was a 'Russian fighter jet'. Hard to tell from the video, but that certainly didn't look like any MiG or Sukhoi I'm aware of (the only wing high on fuselage 'fighter jet' the Russians have is the MiG-25/MiG-31 and what little appears in the video didn't look like that).

Of course Uncle Satan's armed forces and ZATO would NEVER act in an aggressive manner.

The F-16 pilot appears to be totally surprised by the MIG's sudden close appearance, no TCAS alarms going off...
