US Air Force strategic bombers B-1B Lancer practiced striking near the Russian border

American strategic bombers B-1B Lancer have practiced striking ground targets near the Russian border. According to the US Air Force Command in Europe and Africa, as part of the mission, the support of the ground forces was worked out.

A pair of American strategists, while in Lithuanian airspace near the Russian border, worked out interaction with aviation gunners, the role of which was played by Lithuanian and British soldiers. The air controllers directed the bombers to the identified targets, then the strategists worked out the strike.

The purpose of the mission was to increase the readiness and interaction of gunners responsible for coordinating airstrikes to support the ground forces.

- said in a message from the US Air Force European Command on Twitter.

It is noted that the B-1B Lancer took off from the British Fairford airbase, completed tasks near Russia, and then boarded one of the military airfields in Germany, where they refueled.

Earlier it was reported that the US Air Force transferred four B-1B Lancer strategic bombers, support equipment and technical personnel from the 9th Expeditionary Bomber Squadron from Dyce Air Force Base (Texas) to Europe.

The US European Command said the bomber mission was "long planned" as part of the training of strategic bombers over European territory to study a possible theater of war.

A pair of American strategists while in Lithuanian airspace

Have they gone too far?

[Grandfather]

and what, "all targets are hit" no?

[dorz]

On other resources, they wrote that the Americans worked out a conditional strike on Kaliningrad.

[Aitvaras]

Everything is fine, just right. Our military is not the first to send planes of our NATO allies to the target and they are acting excellently. When Lithuania joined NATO, everything was stipulated in the treaty.

[Alexander Seklitsky]

Well, then it will be quite normal to conduct training launches on the territory of Lithuania with Iskander complexes from Kaliningrad, as well as simulate a strike with the help of a pair of Tu 160 nuclear weapons. You won't mind, will you?

simulate a strike using a pair of Tu 160 nuclear weapons.

And in my opinion it is better to come to an agreement with the Cubans, and make a "strike" with long-range missiles from our strategists to imitate targets in Cuba!

[Alexander Seklitsky]

But the trouble is with Cuba, we no longer have such a warm relationship. After Fidel, Cubans look at America without enmity

the base in lourdes was handed over under Putin.

Nothing new, we know that the Iskanders from Kaliningrad are targeting Lithuania, but NATO also has something to answer, for fun. During the Soviet era, everyone in Europe then lived under the gun of missiles with nuclear warheads and nothing, everyone is alive and coughing. So it will be calmer. ...

Will it be considered that Tabaki was allowed to sniff under Sher Khan's tail?

They always flew there.
And ours fly around Chukotka, and talking heads report about "near the US borders" ...
If ours flew near the borders of the states of Washington, Oregon, California - I would be very pleased.
But when they fly around Chukotka and trumpet about the US borders (meaning useless Alaska) - this is the bottom ...

It would be interesting to read: Yesterday two Tu160s practiced bombing the northern tip of Cuba. The gunners were soldiers of the Russian and Cuban armies ... The US government expressed gratitude for the skillful actions of the RF Armed Forces!

bombing the northern tip of Cuba

God forbid that a missile carrier with cruise missiles capable of showing an intercontinental range (X-102) was engaged in bombing. That they Lancers do not regret, tk. there are no similar Tu-22Ms, there are no front-line bombers, and they are also being decommissioned in order to develop a resource.

Why such nonsense?

US Air Force strategic bombers B-1B Lancer practiced striking near the Russian border

And what is so modest? Would have written bluntly: "The US Air Force B-1B Lancer strategic bombers have worked striking Russia".

[Egoza]

OK OK...
Today, within the framework of the Brotherhood of Aviators of Russia and Serbia (BARS), joint exercises of the air forces of the two countries began on Serbian territory. The event, which involves dozens of combat vehicles - airplanes and helicopters, will last until October 16, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports. The Russian-Serbian exercises are taking place at the bases of the Batainitsa and Ladzhevtsy military airfields, as well as at the Posulianska Livada training ground.

Has the Baltics been rolled into dust?

[Nafanya from the sofa]

worked out interaction with aviation gunners,

Strategic bombers directed at the target by aircraft gunners are a complete sur. This was not the case even during the Second World War. Can you imagine an American aircraft controller sitting on the top of Mount Fuji and directing a B-29 to Tokyo?
I can not.

The gunner can, for example, control a small, inconspicuous drone and illuminate the PGRK.

Pay attention Nulad was allowed to come to Moscow for negotiations and at the same time a plane to Ukraine with American military assistance, American strategists are practicing strikes near our border ... They want to strengthen the position of one of the main Russophobes in the negotiations? So in vain, tk. it only reinforces the contradictions that have already reached their maximum.

This is not surprising. Such contemptuous American courage over Moscow and the Russians has always been in the spirit of the American Victoria Nuland from a young age. Even in her youth, ours beat her in the "face" in the USSR for this when she underwent exchange practice as a counselor in "Artek".

Surely, such a demonstration of NATO power near the borders of Russia during Nuland's visit to Moscow was previously agreed upon by Nuland herself with the Pentagon.
I wonder what exactly she wants from Putin only at the same time ?!

[Darkness]

They're getting ready, are we?

[K298rtm]

And we, I hope, worked it out (when will such an opportunity present itself):
1). timely detection at the limit D,
2). correct classification of goals,
3). tracking goals,
4). development of control center,
5). electronic launches of air defense systems,
6). drawing up reports on the entire range of activities performed.

They just continue to think as in the 90s, when the pro-American clique of EBN was in power in the Russian Federation, which surrendered everything to them and was afraid of the slightest roar from Fashington. Their clumsiness only underlines their falling omnipotence. And the further they will persist in their heresy. the nearer is their disintegration into separate North American state-states.

[zwlad]

Maybe ours also bomb, well, for example, on the island of Ratmanov.

[alystan]

It is time from verbal battles like "We have expressed serious concern ... blah blah blah" to start the same bombing somewhere near the borders of Canada-USA! Or the United States and Mexico.
