Russian 'Nuke' Bombers Invade British Airspace

9:17am UK, Thursday March 25, 2010

Laura Holmes, Sky News Online
Two Russian bombers, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, have been caught flying over British airspace.

The unwelcome guests spent four hours flying over the Isle of Lewis despite being intercepted by two RAF jets.

A pair of 111 squadron Tornado F3 fighters took of from RAF Leuchars in Fife to locate the supersonic Tu160 bombers in the Outer Hebrides.

They shadowed the Russian aircraft as they flew south towards the coast of Northern Ireland and then turned north.

Wing Commander Mark Gorringe, commander of 111 Squadron, said: "This is not an unusual incident.

"People may be surprised to know that our crews have successfully scrambled to intercept Russian aircraft on more than 20 occasions since the start of 2009.

"Our pilots, navigators and indeed all the support personnel at RAF Leuchars work very hard to deliver the UK Quick Reaction Alert Force 24 hours a day, which can be scrambled in minutes, to defend the UK from unidentified aircraft entering our airspace, or aircraft in distress.

"It's a very important job, defending the UK and helping to keep UK citizens safe."

After being tailed for four hours, the Russians eventually left British airspace.

The Ministry of Defence stressed that there was no indication that the planes intended to enter British airspace.

The Tupolev Tu160 is a heavy bomber which was first deployed during the last years of the Soviet Union.

It has the heaviest take-off weight and the highest top speed of any combat aircraft.

At least 16 of the models are currently in service with the Russian air force.

you can fly from one end of the UK to the other in 4 hours. It sounds like the Russians were just pissing about if they were flying around the Western Isles and Northern Ireland for 4 hours.

Re: Russian Bombers in UK Airspace For 4 Hours
the russians are testing their technology... they have skirted canada's radars in the past and violated alaska's air space more than a few times. pretty sad that they can enter USA airspace thru canada. our borders are not secure.

attacked from the north might mean from moscow via the arctic.

Those pesky bears wanna give our boys a few hours free target practice every month then that's fine by me. Nice of them to bring their best planes over at their own expense for us to study, it'll make it a lot easier to blow the fuck out of them when the time comes.

It appears the russians do this every few months or so. It has become the accepted norm.

The cheesiest one was a few years back when they claimed to have got lost and ended up being intercepted over the English Channel.

Re: Russian Bombers in UK Airspace For 4 Hours
What a coincidence, I just finished watching the movie/documentary, Threads. It follows a UK family through what would happen during a nuclear war with Russian forces. The movie starts a few weeks before the bombs are dropped and ends somewhere around twenty years after the nuclear exchange. It is a very depressing, disturbing, and graphic film for those who are not already desensitized.

Here's the torrent.

Re: Russian Bombers in UK Airspace For 4 Hours
china is pissed too...

read;

YouTube appears to have disappeared from the web in the same week as the site's owner Google stopped censoring its Chinese search service and suffered a bug that changed a corporate information page into several different languages.

Many pages on the site bear the message "Http/1.1 Service Unavailable" and embedded videos on other sites hosted on YouTube cannot be played, instead saying: "An error occured, please try again later."

Other error messages include: "Internal Server Error. The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request."

The outage comes the day after a page on the Google site that contains information about the company's top executive appeared in Chinese and Russian languages instead of displaying information in English, a problem that Google later blamed on a bug.

It also comes in the same week that Google angered the Chinese government by stopping its censored search service in the country.

There is no reference to it on the YouTube Status blog as yet though Google has released an official statement.

"We apologize for the inconvenience, but YouTube is temporarily unavailable. Our engineers are currently working to restore the site," a Google spokesman said.

UPDATE 1230GMT: The site appears to be up and running again, including index pages and profile pages.

They've done this since the cold war.

Here's one:

Tuesday, April 25, 2006


A senior Russian air force commander has claimed that new, upgraded Tu-160 bomber aircraft were unchallenged by US air defense systems when they penetrated a radar zone near the Canadian coast in US territory during an April training exercise, reports the Russian news agency RIA Novosti.

Commander of Russia's long-range strategic bombers, Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov said that the bombers successfully carried out four mock Tu-95MS cruise missile launches, 200 mock bombings, and 53 mock sorties during the exercise. The RIA Novosti reported that the United States Air Force is currently investigating how the Tu-160's escaped detection.

Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov said, "They were unable to detect the planes either with radars or visually."

Khvorov denies any link of the tests to the current US-Iranian tension, saying, "Of course, our exercises did not have anything to do with the situation in Iran, but their organization indirectly echoed in that region."

The Tupolev Tu-160 is a strategic bomber introduced in 1987. It resembles the North American B-1B Lancer, but is larger and faster, being powered by four NK-32 afterburning turbofans, the largest in any combat aircraft. It is not considered to be a stealth aircraft due to its exposed engine inlets and broad wing gloves.

According to Khvorov over the course of this year, two additional Tu-160s will be commissioned for the long-range strategic bomber fleet with the numerous upgrades, including the ability to launch cruise missiles, aviation bombs, and satellite communication.

Re: Russian Bombers in UK Airspace For 4 Hours
Stupid sheeple, the Russian Christians are fairly close to kicking out the Orwell and Huxley NWO shit. THEY have no interest in expanding "Empire" world-round. They'll let the fuckin' ZioNazi/Rothchild/Rockefeller/Bolshevik fascist and commie assholes tear each other apart and laugh with China all the while.

Look at the trends, Russia is kicking the Oligarch Khazar/Zio/Jews OUT.China (The Dragon) and Russia (the Bear) are laughing their asses off as they look at the Synagogue of Satan slam the West to the floor and rape it's ass while sucking the whining whore's blood. We pretend to be Eagles and Lions, we are really ripped and bloodied anal alter boys passed around.

[link to news.bbc.co.uk]

"In testimony before a British parliamentary committee in the late 1990s, one boy spoke of the criminal abuse he was subjected at the hands of Catholic priests at Tardun in Western Australia.

A number of Christian brothers competed between themselves to see who could rape him 100 times first, the boy said.

Sandra Anker was sent out to Australia when she was six years old

They liked his blue eyes, so he repeatedly beat himself in the hope they would change colour.

As parliamentarians reflected at the time, the term "sexual abuse" seemed wholly inadequate given the awfulness of his experience."

Remember the USS Liberty! Remember the Dancing Israelis! Remember the Ringworm Children! And so...so...many other horrid evils.

No more USA taxpayer dollars for Israel!

No More USA Boys and Girls sacrificed for that synagogue of satan and their best goyim (cattle). Not one more! Get us out of all wars, bases whatever and back home!

Let the true Jews of Israel figure out they have been snookered by the elitist synagogue of satan. Let them realize that Hitler was supported by their masters since their fore-fathers rightly were happy in Europe and didn't want to fight for a desert land settled by arabs for millenia. Let IsraHell fight it's own wars for territory and slaves.

Whatever the hell, just leave AMERICA the fuck alone! You Zionista Vampires! Get thee fangs off Lady Liberty! As our Founding Fathers said. "The Jew is a Turkish Asiatic, His ways are not our ways and never will be for ten upon ten generations."
