Sounds like a fake news to me. Is it even possible to visually identify a jet that is flying 1km (!!!) bellow the airplane?

Most likely it is fake news unless we have independently confirmation. This is a general tactics of Russian info war, saturate the news with false information to confuse and cause info fatigue.
1km isn’t that far and fighter jets are fairly big. I’d wonder how you’d actually look down from an airliner without it being uncomfortable for the passengers though.
