American B-52 strategists hit targets in the North Sea

American strategic bomber B-52s, deployed last week to Europe, have worked out striking at targets in the North Sea. This is reported by Western aviation resources.

American B-52 strategists hit targets in the North Sea




As follows from the published data, a couple of American B-52 strategists, taking off from the Mildenhall airbase in England, made a series of calls with simulated airstrikes on a landfill on the North Sea island of Vlland, belonging to the Netherlands, during a three-hour flight. Airspace in the exercise area was closed to civilian aircraft.

The B-52 bombers participating in the exercises arrived at the forward base of Fairford in the UK from the Barksdale air base in the US state of Louisiana as part of the four strategists. At the same time, three of them, before landing in England, made approaches to the Russian borders in the Kaliningrad Region, after which, without flying about 230 km from the main base of the Baltic Fleet, they turned and left for the airfield in Britain.

As part of the transfer, the Global Strike Command plans to work out the ability of bombers to carry out operations from the forward-based area in the interests of fulfilling the tasks of the Air Force Command in Europe and the US European Command

- The US Air Force said in a statement.

Recall that the American strategists of B-52 have already practiced striking at Russian territory, simulating an attack in the Kaliningrad region. Then, up to six bombers took part in the maneuvers.

    a pair of American B-52 strategists, taking off from the Mildenhall airbase in England, during a three-hour flight made a series of calls with simulated airstrikes on a landfill on the North Sea island of Wlandland, owned by the Netherlands.

    Very interesting, the Americans bombed targets in the North Sea! Where is America here?
    Let Russia fly through Venezuela, Cuba and bomb training targets near Bermuda!
    Will our dear "partners" like it?

        We too.
        World peace.
        This corresponds to Russian intares.
        "If you want peace, prepare for war."
        Maneuvers with bombing in the exclusive zone is quite an idea.
        In a certain situation, appropriate.

          It is quite advisable and has a believable legend:
          1. Yesterday, they carried out reconnaissance of approaches to the Kaliningrad WB (without leaving profiles for our air defense).
          2. Today mastered the weather and the system of work on the North Sea.
          3. Tomorrow walk over Scandinavia.
          4. The day after tomorrow they will begin to master flights over the Barents Sea - and that’s it!
          These crews will be ready to fulfill their main mission: they will know the approach paths and return routes after the blind mission of our surveillance radars and air defense systems is completed by them.
          How Russia will be able to counteract them in fulfilling their mission is already a conversation of specialists.

        This is not our method, it’s better to have a couple of floats in the Hudson area, and to the production of shale gas, biological production will be added laughing

          We need to learn how to extract our own shale hydrocarbons. And we have no less reserves of them than in the States. And no one will have to "pop up in the Hudson." And if you have an exacerbation, it’s to the doctor, you yourself know which one. Sorry... hi

      Honestly, I would VERY like it if in that area, well, "quite by accident", at this moment of bombing, a link of our Sukhikhs "would appear" ... But, unfortunately, these are only dreams

    But in the North Sea, on whose territory are they working out blows?

      Yes, they were doing this several times in the times of the USSR every year, the transfer of exercises and bombing to Europe ... a routine routine ... so they didn’t surprise me.

    But combat training is underway both with us and with the likely enemy. Who has enough money.
    Well-trained personnel are less likely to do stupid things or make mistakes.
    But the place could be chosen and less politically loaded.

      The North Sea is not politically loaded, it just adjoins Europe. Far from Russia.

        The North Sea is actually the gateway to the exit of our nuclear submarines into the Atlantic Ocean and it is stuffed with enemy submarines as well as nuclear submarines, for which it is a testing ground for Russian RSN attacks.

          You didn’t confuse anything? It is possible to enter the Atlantic Ocean through the North Sea only from Kronstadt, it is unlikely that there would be nuclear submarines ........

            Thank you for the amendment: of course, the Norwegian Sea was meant with a bad place for us between the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
            Thank you.

    The B-52s were flying already, funny.
    "approaches with simulated air strikes" - it will soon come to simulated flights.

    Better than Poseidon, you need to remake a pair of submarines under s400 carriers, pieces for two hundred in each and on duty to the missile-hazardous direction.

    three of them, before landing in England, made approaches to the Russian borders in the Kaliningrad region, after which, not reaching about 230 km from the main base of the Baltic Fleet, they turned and left for the airfield in Britain.
    Knowing that nothing threatens them (the Russian border has not been crossed) why not play "hegemon" and once again show your allies that "everything is under control." And they really get more insolent every year.
