Three B-52H US Air Force Strategists Patrol Arctic Circle
37
Three US strategic bombers B-52H, assigned to the Barksdale air base (Louisiana) and “temporarily” operating at the Fairford base in the UK, patrolled the Barents Sea. This information is confirmed by the US military command. After the operation, the planes returned to the British airfield.
This is the first case in recent years when the US Air Force sent three of its “strategists” to the Barents Sea — for the Arctic Circle.
US Air Force Press Service:
The flight included training in integration and cooperation with the Norwegian air force, as well as naval training using the US Navy's P-8 aircraft designated for the 67 operations team (CTF) operating in the region.
It is noted that the rotation of the 2 bomber wing in Fairford began on October 10.
The US does not hide the fact that the main task of the flight is to demonstrate power to the North the fleet The Russian Navy.
The command reports that the flight of the three strategic bombers B-52H "was a demonstration of allied support in northern Europe." It is noteworthy that this phrase sounds against the background of statements by French President Emanuel Macron that the United States has lost any interest in interacting with its European partners in NATO.
US Air Force Command:
We will continue to fly beyond the Arctic Circle in order to maintain security in the region.
