Russian strategic bombers carried out a ‘planned’ flight over the Norwegian and Barents Seas in the Arctic. They were “escorted” by ‘foreign fighter jets,’ according to the Russian Ministry of Defence.
The aircraft were Tu-95s, capable of carrying nuclear weapons. The countries deployed their air forces to monitor them. The flight lasted more than seven hours. According to Russia, such flights occur regularly in many parts of the world and are conducted in accordance with international law.
Russian bombers and NATO jets
‘Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers and missile carriers carried out a routine flight over neutral waters in the Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea,“ the ministry said. ‘At certain stages of the route, the long-range bombers were escorted by fighter jets from foreign countries”.
The ministry said that such flights take place regularly in many regions and comply with international law. In recent weeks, South Korea and Japan have criticised Russian and Chinese military aircraft flying near their territories, prompting them to scramble fighter jets.
According to Tokyo, two Russian Tu-95 bombers flew from the Sea of Japan to meet with two Chinese H-6 bombers over the East China Sea, then flew together around the country.
Who are those “foreign countries”? China and North Korea?
Russian strategic rust buckets from the 50s. There, I fixed it for you.
Fuck Putin’s Russia. We as a Europe must endure!
Oh no no no no we need to dump more millions pls pls dump millions give em the money NOW
Fuck putin fuck trump fuck maga fuck all tyrants across this planet.
Time we deploy our jets to Taiwan and buzz west Taiwan on the regular. Fuck Winnie and his little bitch Putler.
Time to stop fannying around with the pummper and spank his ruski booty.
I wonder how easy it would be to blow them out of the air nowadays.
Those TU95s are like flying bricks by today’s standards, and as they are not stealth by any means, I’d expect they had zero chance to actually deliver any payload, nuclear or not, as long as the defending country/region has airspace control?
Just dropping a bit more cash off for reform
It’s an ‘exercising rights of passage’ flight. Everybody does it. We (collectively) recently ran a major carrier operation in the South China Sea.
