Re: Putin Nuke Bombers Skirt UK & Orders 160 Jets to Patrol Scotland-UK & Germany Res
Two Russian Nuke Bombers Skirt UK as Putin Orders Tu 160 Jets to Patrol Sea Near Shetlands Scotland
RUSSIAN nuclear bombers have been spotted skirting the coast of Britain in a chilling show of force by Vladimir Putin.
Two Tu-160 planes were seen north of the Shetland Islands and were accompanied by a MiG-31 fighter during the 14 hour mission, which comes amid mounting tensions between Russia and the West.
BBC News 27 APR 2023
The planes flew a 14 hours mission that skirted the Shetland Islands
The bombers were accompanied by a MiG-31 fighter

Kremlin jets recently brought down an American drone with both sides then putting on shows of strength by nuclear bombers.
The latest display of Kremlin military might comes as Russia’s former President Dmitry Medvedev warned humanity stands on the brink of
World War Three.
It is the third time in a week the Russian tyrant has staged patrols of his nuclear strike aircraft and the second time in 12 days they have overflown the Norwegian Sea with Tu-160s.
Video shows the bombers – nicknamed the White Swans – being refuelled in flight during the mission, which comes after a similar display back in February.
“Two Tu-160 strategic missile carriers of the Russian Aerospace Forces have performed a scheduled flight in the airspace above neutral waters of the Barents and Norwegian seas, lasting over 14 hours," said the Russian defence ministry.
"All flights of Russian Aerospace Forces’ planes are carried out in strict compliance with international rules of airspace use.”
The Tu-160 – called the Blackjack by NATO - is a supersonic variable-sweep wing strategic missile-carrying bomber dating from the Soviet era.
Along with Tu-95MS bombers, the planes are the mainstay of Russia’s long-range aviation.
