American strategic bomber B-1B Lancer "checked" Russian air defense

38

The US Air Force has once again tested the operation of the Russian air defense system by sending a B-1B Lancer strategic bomber towards the Russian border. The plane heading towards Russia was "intercepted" by a Russian MiG-31.

According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense, on October 17, 2021, the air defense systems of the Eastern Military District detected a target moving towards the Russian border over the Sea of ​​Japan. For identification, an interceptor of the air defense forces on duty of the MiG-31 district was raised in the air.



The Russian fighter "intercepted" an American strategic bomber over the neutral waters of the Sea of ​​Japan, identified it, after which the American's crew made a decision to turn. The Russian MiG-31 escorted the US Air Force bomber and, after making sure that the plane was on the opposite course, returned to the home airfield.

It is emphasized that there was no violation of the Russian border. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense notes that the number of flights of the American military and reconnaissance aviationas well as NATO aircraft near the Russian borders increased.

Earlier, the US Air Force deployed four B-1B Lancer strategic bombers to Europe, a couple of which, having taken off from the Fairford airbase in the UK, worked out strikes in the Kaliningrad region.

              4хВ-1В have worked out strikes on the Kaliningrad region.

              In response, the Strategic Missile Forces of the Russian Federation should work out (educational) strikes against Fairford airbase in Great Britain.

            Not well. We are shy and kind. Usually, it doesn't come to an outbreak. We start to give a chance to escape alive from the border to a distance of 100, then we offer to land at Our airfield. And then, and then I don't know. The only one was Rust, Without weapons on a light-engine Cessna. We were certainly notoriously fucked for this without petroleum jelly, but the rest are watching our border

          An acquaintance, the battalion commander worked together after the reduction. Decent, competent specialist. After the withdrawal of the main equipment, how many GRS were left there. Local grabbers pulled everything out during the night and brought it to the change. And we didn’t even know that already in 91, non-ferrous metals were driven abroad. They came to de-energize so that no one would be killed.

      Well, checked and how? Did you find any holes? I'm not talking about diapers, because I had to be on duty at Udvas until 14 o'clock, and he is single. At least I had a toilet. And so, the attendants took, escorted from sin on the further and all the delof. He did not violate the border, therefore, the air defense has no authority to ground

      It is emphasized that there was no violation of the Russian border. At the same time, the Ministry of Defense notes that the number of flights of American combat and reconnaissance aircraft, as well as NATO aircraft near the Russian borders has increased.

      Of course, it has increased, because they want to see what the T-50 and S-70 will "intercept" them.

      Is it worth it for whom? Russian taxpayers pay for MiG-31 flights. The whole world pays for B1 flights, including Russian taxpayers. lol It sounds idiotic, but if you look into the details, it's a fact.

      That is, it was not F-35 or some other "invisible" test of our air defense, but a huge bomber, and you take this as pride? what would be signed under similar (fail).

        Why would anyone check your F-35 air defense or something else. American drones are hanging everywhere near the borders of Russia and scanning everything they can. And satellites too. And judging by the number of traitors that are now arrested in Russia, then in the States they know everything about the air defense of Russia.
        Have you forgotten that the Americans have both Armor and S400 to analyze their capabilities.

      Was the reversal real or written so that it cannot be verified? Judge for yourself, we are flying. here MIG and we immediately turn. It looks like it was written for fools. Let me explain. The international space is open to everyone. It is necessary to turn if there is danger ahead or if an order has been given. The bomber needs to carry out a flight mission and it is hardly done so that something needs to be violated. And he probably had a transponder turned on.
      Was the transponder turned on?

        Sorry, but to whom are you asking the question? The article was written in order to raise the plus signs and ranks. Thinking and analyzing this in the distant past. But hitting, banging, drowning it in almost every commentary. People who do not write comments anymore, maybe they read it so that they can cheer up KVN from this.

          Perhaps you are right, but in my opinion it is written to cheer up the patriots of Putin. "Russia is Always Ahead!" ... It's so easy to write something like that and show that without having anything, you have everything))). Well I indicated in my post a bunch of non-docking.

            Maybe you are right, if you gave an analysis of the article, then the minuses would be picked up pretty much. And if you read between the lines, and about the analysis, then the picture will turn out to be completely different from what is written in the article.

      "We don't fly ourselves, and we don't give to others." The slogan of the air defense of the times of the Soviet Army.

      This is when the violator of the state border was brought down, who did not respond to requests.
      and FSE.
      Nobody knows what kind of plane it was - passenger or not.
      Then, for some reason, neither the bodies of passengers nor things were found in the ocean.
      So we don't shoot down passenger planes.
