Russian jet flies within 90 seconds of Hull
A Russian nuclear bomber managed to get within 90 seconds of Hull in a mock attack as RAF radars failed to pick it up.
"The supersonic Blackjack changed course 20 miles from UK airspace, it has been reported.
The jet was picked up on RAF radars but only after it had turned back.
Critics of the Government’s cuts in defence spending say that they have left the country at risk. Four years ago four squadrons of Jaguar and Tornado F3 fighters were slashed from the RAF’s books".

jailhouselawyer,
ReplyDeleteDo you fear a Russian attack or invasion ? MoD data losses are not due to 'cutbacks'.
We should use our long range bombers. Do we have any? Or do we borrow the B-1B?
ReplyDeletePeople forget that American stealth technology was developed after an experimental proof was offered by Russian physicist.
ReplyDeleteNtaurally, the Russians have done their own development and 'Despite the apparent technical difficulty of designing a plasma stealth device for combat aircraft, there are claims that a system was offered for export by Russia in 1999'
Definately Russia saying "Don't fuck wid de big boys"
