What's up with all the Russkie ships doing this? Are the US ships trespassing in Russian waters? Are the Russian crews stupid-bad drivers who cannot keep a safe distance? Is this a case of "Ooh, we're scary Russians, we play chicken of the sea with you!"

WTH, they should be happy that's not my ship, I would have brake-checked the hell outta them

This is a recon/intel collecting ship, not a warship, operating outside of US territorial waters (note the region - Arabian sea).

Western intel collecting ships are a regular feature at Russian exercises.
I seem to recall one trying to fish out a hard kill counter torpedo.

So seems like over reaction. Note how we do not see the Russian ship being in front of the US ship,
so the video does not clarify who had the right of way.
