the ship on the right of your screen is the u.s.s. chancellorville, a u.s. navy warship, on the left you see the russian ship. you see a very steep turn, you see the wake of the russian ship. two u.s. navy officials tell me that kind of wake, that kind of steep turn by the russian ship on the left of your screen to only have been made at a high speed by the russians and there is additional imagery and video not yet declassified that shows, we are told, by the u.s. the russian ship coming close, the u.s. navy estimates the russians came within 50 to 100 feet of their warship and did it at a high speed. no reason for that kind of activity. the u.s. navy was in a tough spot at this point because they are conducting helicopter operations, in fact, this image taken from one of those helicopters and a ship has to maintain a steady course to be able to put that -- have that helicopter land back on the deck of a moving ship at sea. so the navy had no real choice, it had to maintain course, but when this happened, as you say, they went full power back, in other words

ship you see, according to the u.s. 7th fleet, is a russian destroyer barreling dangerously near the u.s.s. chancellorsville. both vessels armed with missiles and powerful guns coming within 50 to 100 feet of colliding into each other. so close at one point you could see russian sailors sunbathing. according to the navy, this began around 11:45 while the american guided missile cruiser was maintaining a straight course as a helicopter was able to land on the ship. and that's when a russian destroyer, the admiral vinogradov, which was travelling behind the chancellorville, sped up. naval officials say the "irresponsible and reckless" actions of the russian ship forced the chancellorville to wave off their chopper and reverse all engines at full role >> the behavior is unsafe and unprofessional. we'll have military to military conversations with the russians. >> reporter: but the russians claim this near miss was caused by the americans who deliberately changed course without warning and allegedly cut across their ship forcing it to make an emergency maneuver. >> the russians were clearly at

an escalation if only as a miscalculation a horse if it's a manned croft horse if there's another u.s.s. this sense july the 1988 when a u.s. naval ship misidentified a civilian aircraft well the iranians are don't believe that the u.s. misidentified that civilian aircraft and they gave false information to in the international community in the western media accepted that information until years later when it came out that they had lied and that is something that iranians believe is happening today the iranians don't believe the american version of what happened with the drone the iranians have recovered pieces of the drone in their territorial waters and they believe that the united states doesn't want the 2 to come out and the commanders of the iranian armed forces actually said that there was an american spy plane with i mean 35 americans on board that entered iranian airspace but when the iranians warned them to leave they left so the iranians do not want to attack american soldiers they just want to protect their sovereignty and therefore i think this shows that it's the iranians b
