Daily Mail: Is this proof America is preparing for war with Russia? US plane is spotted in a mock dogfight with a Russian jet above the top secret Area 51 base

* EXCLUSIVE: The US Air Force conducted a mock dogfight using a Russian fighter jet above Area 51 in Nevada
* The 'enemy' jet was a single-seat Sukhoi SU-27P, which is used by the Russian and Chinese air forces
* The Sukhoi was intercepted by an F-16 fighter operating out of the nearby Nellis Air Force Base
* The two jets fought each other for 25 minutes at altitudes ranging between 20,000 and 30,000 feet

These are the amazing scenes which show a Russian-built fighter jet taking on a US Air Force F-16 in a mock dogfight - in what could be a sign that America is preparing for the possibility of war with Moscow.

The images were captured by air traffic controller Phil Drake in the skies above Area 51 in Nevada, one of the world's most secret military bases, on the day Donald Trump was elected President.

According to Drake, the aircraft in the photographs are a single seater Sukhoi Su-27P and America's veteran F-16.

He was visiting the desert surrounding Area 51 on November 8, the day of the Presidential election. He hoped to see some fast jets involved in a training mission.

Probably aggressor aircraft flied by U.S. contractors for air combat training. Pride Aircraft used to own two, but they've been sold.
