The Russians are back

Postby mustang666 » Sat Aug 18, 2007 4:01 pm

In a hardly reported incident last month two Russian Tu-95's briefly intruded on British airspace off of Aberdeen before being intercepted and turned around by British fighters.

Thanks..  Well their booming oil and gas reserves are funding a new cold war and a new updated Russian war machine.  They want to put their mark back on the world stage.  Two were also intercepted off Guam just the other day and a further two last month by Norwegian F-16's down the Norwegian coast in international waters.

At least we have a proper 'Sprut' instead of having to hack a new style nose on an old one

IM worried I live in Glasgow and we are a possible target for teh russians in Scotland. But thats real close to leuchers seems a stupid place to enter teh country thank god the russians can only operate two planes every decade thats two down another decade to go. Serious point though another cold war the russians would lose they forget the RAF and the USAf have and always will do br better. GOD SAVE HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH THE SECOND LONG LIVE.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
