Yakovenko: I do not understand what problems London saw in the span of Russian Tu-160 in the international space

95
The Russian ambassador to London, Alexander Yakovenko, expressed bewilderment over the actions of the British Defense Ministry, which sent fighters to escort Russian strategic bombers flying close to the air borders of the Kingdom, reports TASS.



“I wonder why the Ministry of Defense sees problems in the routine flights of Russian bombers in international airspace, which pose no threat,”
wrote Yakovenko on his Twitter.

The British Defense Ministry reported that the 19 of November sent "Eurofighter Typhoon fighters to escort Russian strategic bombers Tu-160 flying in the area of ​​British interest in international airspace over the Atlantic."

It is noted that the fighters "remained close to the Russian aircraft until they left this zone."

                And who will like the passage of strategists along your borders with full ammunition and cover? Or do you think the kingdom does not know how far the X-55, X-555 or X-101 are flying? So they are worried correctly. Yes, and ours made such a hook intentionally. After all, they returned back in a completely different way.

                  Routine flights cause routine maintenance. It seems that Yakovenko himself pushes psychosis among couch patriots. Great Britain behaved within the framework of laws and did not express any notes of concern.

              Varangians, just accompanied. They can’t pass by any of our aircraft when it goes around the corner. True, they screwed up once - a couple of our strategists were sent to intercept a pair of our strategists. And when the second, then the third, and then the tanker appeared behind the first pair, it was necessary to see the convulsive movements of the Norwegians.
              The Anglo-Saxons at one time were very worried about the fact that our strategists began to fly too often and had to climb to escort. Because of this, the resource of aircraft engines is greatly consumed. laughing
              But seriously, I can imagine articles in the Western press like - "our fearless pilots carried out intercept the enemy at the doorstep of our house. Exactly so, not escort, but interception. This is why psychosis is being pumped up (this is why it has recently been decided in the west to run with the whole herd to psychologists).
              Our planes also escort NATO military aircraft near our borders, but this is not a sensation.

            The opinion of the navigators ...

            Flying around the corner with combat use. As a navigator, I can imagine how much gray hair one such flight adds.

            "There are from two to five sorties every day, the total time spent by strategic missile carriers in the air has exceeded 200 hours. missiles from the Mediterranean Sea at terrorist targets. The flight route passed over the Barents, Norwegian Seas, and the Strait of Gibraltar, "Lieutenant Colonel T. Kapsha said.

            The flight route before striking is impressive. Having flown out from Murmansk, flying close to Finland, Norway, Great Britain, France, Spain, the Tu-160s link in the Gibraltar area made refueling. Only aces can do this. The coherence and accuracy of this operation is impressive, as well as staff training, too, because the flight also had to be coordinated with the leadership of these countries.

            "The total flight duration was 16 hours 20 minutes."

            Having dealt a blow, our strategic bombers returned to their places of basing, but in a different way - flying over Iraq and Iran, making one more refueling over the Caspian. The total flight length was almost 13 thousand km.
            Please note Long-range Aviation made flights around the corner, went around the whole of Europe + two refueling, one of which is night .........

England keeps talking about her problems with our carcasses, we, making a sympathetic mine, tell them that there are no problems and that it was not worth it so worried. And they and ours understand that problems exist and that these problems do not exist with us.
      NATO has lived so long without serious "dangers" that it has forgotten how to adequately respond to minor "threats." and now for them the flight of the Tu-160 causes wild delight of the pygmies for them that they personally greet him. How! The gods of war are flying by. And after the Russian VKS staged a show with the use of strategists, it turns out that the Gods of War are real and know how to punish. and the Britts themselves have nothing.

    Absolutely agree. Here is part of our guilt in the fact that the Anglo-Saxons have lost the habit of such flights.

    “I wonder why the defense ministry sees problems in routine flights of Russian bombers in international airspace that poses no threat ”

    Here, as I see it, there is a slight irony in the words of our ambassador. Flights are certainly not routine, a few years ago they were generally rare, but I hope that they will now be carried out on a regular basis. The Russian flag should be presented in the sky as well.

    Most likely, the diplomat’s words were misinterpreted as usual. Perplexing reaction of the British media to an ordinary event causes perplexity. Well flew by. They escorted, there is no reason for hysteria.

    It's just that the British government needed to make a fuss out of a generally ordinary event. It is a common world practice when interceptors are raised to accompany an approaching aircraft (at least as a training). Once upon a time "strategists" were based here, so I often heard from them stories of how they flew along the American borders, accompanied by their fighters. They did this so often that the faces of the American pilots were practically native laughing

    Our ambassadors, like red girls, do not understand anything. Is it not clear that the world is steadily pushing us to understand that Russia is an aggressor that needs to be closed, sealed within its borders, blaming all the terrorist attacks, all the wars of recent years, Ukraine, Crimea, Fukushima, Charlie for the fires in California? And what did this intelligible ambassador tell the British to shut up? Nothing?! Perplexed by our ...

    And do you know many ambassadors to reason like this? The ambassador is not a politician behind the podium, he cannot wave his hands and yell about everything he thinks about. There are certain norms of behavior in the diplomatic environment, and the ambassador can not always express what he wants.
    My minus.

    Russian Ambassador to London Alexander Yakovenko expressed bewilderment over the actions of the British Ministry of Defense, which sent fighters to escort Russian strategic bombers flying near the air borders of the Kingdom


    Alexander Yakovenko is a top troll - should he not know that on EVERY flight our bombers are accompanied by the interceptors of EVERY NATO country, which the plane passes by. An absolutely ordinary situation - ours fly to work out tasks, NATO members meet and accompany them - each in his own area of ​​responsibility. In my opinion - trolling of the highest level - "Cho boiled over, guys? It's all exactly - well, our guys flew a little, it's not very scary" wink

    Well, you can understand them in principle: secondly, the hummingbird is such an unpleasant thing that from the Baltic the range of a sea-based product covers the distance to all capitals of Europe, including London, and the TU-160 is capable of lifting them aboard up to 12 tons , only airborne, they are lighter, and the power of the explosive is the same. In addition, the Kolibr can carry a special warhead, and since they fly with super sound and at very low altitudes, it is a very big problem to spot and even more so to shoot them down. But firstly, in Syria, our Aerospace Forces are bombing the ISIS infrastructure, and forgive the investment, and it seems to me whoever squeals more from our western and overseas "friends" about the destruction of bandit formations is their main sponsor

    From the archive YES.
    "the story of a veteran ...
    ... after returning from the military patrol of TU-16, which took place in neutral waters over the Pacific Ocean, a strange close-up shot of the cockpit of a US fighter with a pilot who presses a sheet of paper against the cockpit light was found on the developed film of the on-board camera.
    In the commander’s report, nothing was said about the aircraft’s dangerous approach.
    The navigator of TU 16 was called to where to explain.
    To the question of what it is, the answer followed
    -they always meet us when we go on a parallel course to the aircraft carrier (dsl was "Enterprise")
    - What is written on the sheet ...
    -"Hello Ivan"
    -And what is one shot?
    -He Comrade Colonel saw the camera took it for a gun barrel in the side and flew away .. "
    This is in the 70's.
    And now they are making an elephant out of a fly.
