WSJ: The British “spotted” Russian bombers near Scotland

North of Scotland on Wednesday, two Russian Tu-95 bomber were spotted. Such information with reference to the British Department of Defense appeared in The Wall Street Journal.

It is reported that the Royal Air Force had to alarm two fighter "Typhoon" in order to establish the type and identity of the aircraft.

“Russian military airplanes remained in international airspace all the time, and they have every right to do so,” said a spokesman for the British Defense Ministry, quoted by Ino-TV.

"Russian military aviation never entered the sovereign airspace of the United Kingdom without permission, ”he added.

The Ministry of Defense also reported that such incidents were not rare: last year this happened eight times.

The authorities of the United Kingdom are not inclined to dramatize the situation, despite the fact that the event took place against the background of exacerbation of tension in the international arena after "Russia's military invasion of Ukraine."

And they do not need to invade. If necessary, cruise missiles with nuclear charges will invade.

With advice, ours patrolled the Atlantic on a regular basis. Get used to the good.

The plane didn’t enter British airspace ... they’ll get missiles, you don’t need to enter ...

Most likely the bears flew around the corner. And for intelligence we have other tools.

England has always been the eternal enemy of Russia ... It was England that pushed Bonapartist France and Russia, it was England that insisted on the speedy entry of Russia into the First World War against Kaiser Germany (how we all remember this ), it was England that raised and set Hitler's Germany against the USSR ... The British always want to make their history with someone else's blood (as well as their "Burp" USA) by fencing themselves off from all the English Channel. Favorite proverb of the British: OVER LA MANCHEM FOG, CONTINENT IN ISOLATION ... I am glad and proud that Our "Bears" and "White Swans" remind the motherland of "Sir Gay" Elton John that the English Channel will not save them today ... PS And it would be nice to move the capital of Great Britain to Edinburgh, the Scots hate the British at the genetic level. And the Scots are very close to the Russian mentality

[ispaniard]

P.S. They will answer us for "Braveheart" ... Such a man was killed ... For life I will remember him -FREEEEDOOOOOOOM !!!

what kind of bombers? The same "Russian Post" brought cookies by the Scotsman, the same ones seem to have a referendum on secession ahead ...

[INVESTOR]

And what gifts did he bring them on the suspension is not specified ???

Yes, they always flew. What, just noticed? Strong move, if only not to be dishonored!

[Floock]

That is, if anything, we will reach Her Majesty the Queen! )))

[Vedmed_23]

If we can get to her "greatness" (on tanks), if they do not have time to blow up the tunnel.

[Al_lexx]

To Her Majesty, we can fly on fighters.
In extreme cases, on the Tu22.
95 for other purposes. They catch the fish for larger ones.

[SS68SS]

Fly, fly our geese-swans. Remind the whole world that if something happens (God forbid, of course) no one will hide from the answer and retribution for their dirty deeds ...

[bytkeev]

Everything is fine. So it should be, because NATO planes fly over our territory ....

[Igor39]

I Japs were hysterical right away, to be afraid, that means they feel sinners behind them.

[SS68SS]

Maybe they’re starting out from under the silence? Afraid of what we notice?

is not a fact. Maybe according to all sorts of CNN, BBC and Euronews this is already called a new "war crime" against democracy

[Dimkin]

It is necessary to fly into the light more often, otherwise they relaxed.

[serega.fedotov]

The flyers flew half the world, and only spotted them at the door! But what about the exchange of information inside NATO? Or their publicized surveillance systems?

Russian bombers were seen in many places on our planet.

That they flew to refuel in the Crimea !!!

oh would not be dishonored already, notchers.

[yulka2980]

It was necessary to fly right over the palace

[Bobxnumx]

What is not pleasant, the Russians flew nearby, Britain shook. This is so that life does not seem like hay.

Still ahead - don’t hesitate to whine.

[Standard Oil]

It looks dumb in the West, because as a rule it is they who fly in bombers and carry "democracy" in bomb bays.

[rugor]

Well, the Scots got stuck, the next time I won’t even raise planes, they’ll get used to frequent visits.

[kelevra]

Again caught up with fear, well done aviators!

[Corsair0304]

Damn, to detect the "Bear" ("Bear" - class. NATO TU-95) with a 50-meter wingspan and double 3-meter propellers, of course, is difficult, I don't know what kind of radars they have there)) Most likely they led our bears from the moment of take-off and passed along as they moved. And the fact that the Typhoons were raised is normal. Ours would have done the same if the B-52 flew by somewhere.
I think it was a demonstration of the flag and opportunities, so as not to relax. And rightly so, many hot heads cools at a time. Flyers - Respect.

[Biolant]

Or maybe just lost?) Anything happens))

The British "spotted" Russian bombers near Scotland

Nothing special happened. Just kept an eye on the airfields in Scotland. We have yet to be friends with them. After the referendum on the separation of Scotland from small Britain ...

[KOSTYLEV]

Interestingly, they have an item in the ballots on joining the Russian Federation ???????

[JoylyRoger]

that would be a cheaper viskar!

[abrakadabre]

Interestingly do they have an item in the ballots on joining the Russian Federation?

It would be a bomb altogether. Imagine the reaction of the West to such a demarche?

[0255]

London already promises the Scots different fears and horrors after gaining independence. So Scotland definitely has an incentive in friendship with the Russian Federation.

[Roman1970]

Just think, spotted! You might think they were hiding!

[JoylyRoger]

So they can train near our borders, and the flight of ours in the international sky is already an accident?

[dr.star75]

The calm reaction of the Britons is pleasing, either the character is this: Nordic, or they are already used to it. The Japanese are still hysterical. So we are in the right direction.

I would be in the place of the Japanese, when a plane into which you can stick a vigorous stick loops over, generally buried three meters into the ground, and poured concrete myself !!!!
And they only raise a screech! Samurai however!

The Japanese will hysteria when we fly over the Kuril Islands. They still consider them theirs.

[Biolant]

No, just if they admit that they pissed off a strategic bomber at their borders, a lot of military heads will fly off their shoulders)) So they make a good face with a bad game))

[Scaramaks]

Look at the photo, he just stood there - even his screws do not rotate - that's why they spotted. STANDING !!!

[Orc-xnumx]

Admired at Scapa Flow ...

[KOSTYLEV]

They have frenzied propaganda among the British and Amerekos in the media regarding Russia as a country with an obvious threat to the "civilized" world, I know for sure that ordinary people in the United States believe that we have had a large-scale mobilization to conquer Europe and our missiles are aimed only at North America.

[Biolant]

Bullshit, my friend returned from America 3 months ago, his friends stayed there. No one is hysterical except a warrior. There, ordinary people do not understand what the Americans climbed into Ukraine. They have huge problems there starting with unemployment and utilities. And Ukraine is a way to distract from internal problems.
P.S. I am not America; I am setting forth the facts. And do not minus me.

[Ev58]

Everyone understands what TU-95 or TU-160, for example. Now there is no need to enter the airspace protected by the missile defense system and the air force of the potential enemy. Everything is much simpler. And if we recall the American studies of a high-altitude explosion of nuclear weapons, it can easily be concluded that even if the munition equipped with a nuclear warhead does not reach the target, then at least within a radius of 800 miles (according to U.S. research in 1962, now this figure more significantly) the entire electronic and significant part of the electrical infrastructure will be paralyzed, and this is precious time. Satellites that cannot complete their tasks and maintain output characteristics, and, after a short time, cease to exist due to catastrophic failures of electronic components, will fall under the influence of high-altitude nuclear weapons.

[Biolant]

It’s possible to act on this principle and regarding aircraft carriers according to this principle and to drop a racket.

[Dazdranagon]

“Russian military aircraft have always remained in international airspace, and they have every right to do so,” said an official from the UK Department of Defense

- they did not take an example from the Japanese - "crossed the border, crossed the border" ...

[aleks 62]

.... On the soap, the note is called ".... invaded the airspace of the Netherlands ..." (???????) :)))))

[kind]

Managed sirs! But now they know where the adrenaline is released, what color and smell it is !!!

[andrey777]

Fly guys, fly !!! Let them always be on their toes.

[shelva]

Yes, we are proud of our strategic aviation and do not hide it from prying eyes. On the contrary - we give the opportunity for the adversary to consider it closer. Admire !, and remember.

[Nikolaevich]

Sir anxiety Russian go referendum bear!

[Vitaly Anisimov]

With the coming of Putin to power and the strengthening of the power of Russia, the quiet life of the "Naglo-Saxons" ended .. (And what were the times of bombing whoever you want (Yugoslavia Iraq Libya Afghan ..)

[Sergey Sitnikov]

damn))) it’s safe for the British to go - 12 nuclear pies with a range of 2000 km flew nearby)))

[Eugeneleee]

But the Britons didn’t specify - were the bombers polite?

The UK authorities are not inclined to dramatize the situation,

And hello .. we must be afraid of our flyers!
Checkers, damn it .. It's just our "invisibility mode" not included!

Fly, guys! Pampers in Europoids will diverge by URA.

[Giant thought]

Check for lice. Well, a little tickle your nerves.

[necha265]

They flew to the Scots to see the flag of St. Andrew the First-Called, the official flag of Scotland !!!

[Anton Gavrilov]

More often it is necessary to carry out such flights.

[klaus16]

My father told me: When the Union, when they went around the corner, it happened that they flew into someone else's territory. For different reasons. Mostly by mistake. So no state especially squealed. Well flown and okay. Then respected, feared.

[La xnumx]

Let them get used to the sensations! Partners.

[mamont5]

"The British" spotted "Russian bombers near Scotland"

Yes, it’s time to get used to it - we flew, we fly and we will fly.

[renics]

(The Ministry of Defense also reported that similar incidents are not uncommon :).
Why an accident? If you were in international airspace. Whoever writes it this way, by definition, doesn’t have any incident here. They feel that the nods now look around in fright, as if nothing had happened.

[propolsky]

And this is the Scottish airspace, soon the British will have nothing to do there.

[Bayonet]

Because of what so many emotions, a normal situation. Moreover, "The authorities of the United Kingdom are not inclined to dramatize the situation."

[MAFIA]

Our planes fly far from the borders of sovereign Russia, showing everyone that we are not afraid to do this, and this is most important.
It’s a pity they don’t write about submarines, but they also migrate across the Atlantic, for half a year.

[Smiles to you]

RIA News. Russian strategic missile carriers Tu-95MS, accompanied by MiG-31 fighters, completed flights over the neutral waters of the North Sea

[domjoly]

It is the English who are trolling the Scots on the eve of the independence referendum. A couple of months ago they released news about a Russian military vessel discovered off the coast of Scotland, now planes are flying, soon I think they will notice bearded green men with a GRU chevron

With the first one you are absolutely right. Not with the second one. They have exactly the same distrust of Russia as they do of the British; they see us as a potential aggressor.
