There, that's safer.

Not really.

I think if they perceived this as a threat, their response probably would have been different.

A foreign military, doing simulated attack runs, unannounced, when were not really getting along, isn't a threat? Just a difference of opinions I guess. I'd have gone below deck.

If they attacked the boat, being below deck wouldn't have done anything.

Crap like this happens all the time when tensions get a little high. I actually commend them for not escalating it because that's how things get out of hand.
 
Back in the day of the Fulda Gap, Fencer's SU-24 brethern of the Warsaw Pact who came before him, would be crossing paths with US F-111E/Fs, as each headed to their respective targets when the balloon went up. Prior to the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty of 1987, it's very possible that neither strike-interdiction forces would've made it to their targets prior to US GLCM and Pershing 2 and USSR SS-4/5/12 Medium Range nukes made it to their targets first.......
