A Royal Air Force RC-135W aircraft played cat and mouse with Russian forces for almost four hours as it probed Russian -occupied Crimean Peninsula air defenses.
At one point it switched off its transponders, effectively disappearing from civilian radars for more than an hour offshore from the major Russian base of Sevastopol .
The mission only ended after a Russian Sukhoi-27 fighter caught up with the British four -engine aircraft.
The RC-135 and Typhoons dropped off radar again near Constanta at 13:30 UTC.
30 minutes later the Rivet Joint cleared Romanian air space en route to Britain .
By 14:15 the US Navy Poseidon was over Bulgaria heading towards Sicily .
The three Romanian helicopters had disappeared as well.
