The work of our Air Force: a review of the foreign press
65
Made a small overview of the coverage in the Western press of our Air Force activities For 2013 year, the Russian Air Force managed to bring rustling in different parts of the world. February 5: Tu-95, flying near Japan. February 12: Tu-95, circled the Guam base, for the first time in 20 years. February 26-27: Tu-22, a training attack on the Aegis cruiser and missile defense facility located in Japan. 15 March: TU-95, flying near Japan 29 March: TU-22, training attack on objects in Sweden So not only the Swedes are lucky with attention to their person. But the activation of our Air Force did not begin yesterday. Found article 2011 of the year on the activities of our air force in the region of Japan.
Departures occur almost every day, as in the old days :) Of course, attention is paid not only to the Japanese. Here the British in 2010 say that they have to fly to intercept at least once a month. From 2006 to 2009, the year was 64 for interception sorties, and for 2009 - for 20 bomber interceptions. Of course, we didn’t forget about our main friends: we’ll fly over Nimitz, or congratulate our partners on July 4. In general, those who consider events in Sweden a one-time action are somewhat mistaken :) Update: I found detailed data on Norway. 1 source, 2 source. The Norwegian Air Force reports not only on the number of interception missions, but also on the number of aircraft identified.
