Dutch frigate Evertsen Incident

The frigate’s electronic equipment was also disrupted. The Ministry speaks of ‘intimidation practices’.
“The [Russian] planes repeatedly harassed the Everts between about 3.30 pm and 8.30 pm local time,” the ministry wrote in a statement. “They flew dangerously low and close by, performing feint attacks. The fighters were armed with bombs and so-called air-to-surface missiles, intended to fire at a target from the air.” The pictures shared by the ministry show a couple of Su-30SM aircraft, one being armed with what resemble supersonic anti-ship Kh-31 missiles.
