| Norwegian and British fighter jets were scrambled to intercept Russian bombers over the north Atlantic, the latest in a series of such incidents, Norway’s military command said Friday.
Two Russian Tupolev-160 bombers or “Blackjacks” were detected by the NATO allies flying along the Norwegian coast before passing by northern Scotland, a military spokesman told AFP. “We dispatched two F-16s from Bodoe airbase (in the north of Norway) to identify them,” Lieutenant-Colonel Jon Inge Oegland said, adding that Britain had also sent aircraft. |
More questions . . . .
Is that truly an F-16?
Would a “fight” between these two aircraft be “fair”?
If you ignore the blackjacks will they go away?
Will we hear next that it was carrying nukes by mistake?
I am going to assume the Blackjack was carrying nukes…and I am going to assume that it wasn’t a mistake. I doubt the Russians are bound by the impotent liberal anti war mindset that plagues our government. Sadly, my assumptions may be confirmed with the first mushroom cloud…
