Ten hours. Morally and physically difficult. Four jobs.

There were no violations of the airspace of other states.

Tired already at the beginning, end and middle of any news to read our similar emphasis on the "holiness" and the nobility of our intentions. They all went to hell! Strategists or God's dandelions. Fly and wet, let them rage.

Well, over the "waters", of course, it's romantic, but ... January. Over the ice would be more correct

I once saw this plane take off. I don't know how to express my feelings. Never a poet and words are not enough.

[alekc75]

and when 3-4 that 22m overhead is landing ?? this is a total blast!!!

Why didn't they work on the outskirts? There is nothing to burn the people's fuel.

The hint is not subtle ... so that the states do not forget - the Arctic is ours!

Takeoff of a pair of TU 160s, this is clearly not an air base in Engles! As soon as they took off, one NATO country was immediately at gunpoint. And the partners did not fly to intercept the "swans" to the North Pole. Yes, this is a routine, not every American will reach the North Pole. Tomorrow at the Pentagon, who will squeal: The Russians are using the Arctic to exert pressure USA. This is extremely undemocratic.

Now, if even on Novaya Zemlya to make a jump airfield with a pair of lanes of 3 km each

[tralflot1832]

FJL, Alexandra's land, Nagurskoe - the length of the runway is 3,5 km. The MiGs 31 were already a couple there, that's what is not visible under the "bellies" from space. It seems like they modernized for strategists.
