Russian 'Nuke' Bombers Invade British Airspace

[Black_Apalachi]

They're probably trying to remind us that there is a country called Russia out there somewhere because nobody cares :L

[Stefy09]

or maybe soon they will drop a nuke on us and kill us all. They are gonna start ww3 and I'll put money on that!

Just because it happens it doesn't really mean there is a need to diss Russia. Even though I myself would disss Russia with the **** happening there socialy, politicaly and economically. Rather than focusing on their HUGE social problems, they waste money on useless things such as this. This is coming from a Russian lol.

Why on earth are we so soft. 20 times?! This was no ******* accident as we are being told. Simply tell them to stop flying in our airspace or we'll take out anything they send over us, and maybe America will back us up, as war makes the most profit for the corporations that run America.

[-:Undertaker:-]

We are terrified of them;- look at us. If we did that to the Russians (as we should be doing so back) they'd shoot us down whereas we just allow it. I would warn them; if you enter our airspace again in a threatening manner then we will take the action required to take out the threat you intend to pose to us. The same goes for the US and China, China frequently threatens US warships yet the US carries on trading as though nothing has happened. Imagine if Iran or North Korea did that.

The same occured with Iraq, we took them out because we knew we could. The real threats who can smack us back we ignore to our peril.

I don't know anything about planes, but the picture looks well good. Top plane looks nifty.

China is a profit-making powerhouse for the US, and profit comes before anything (including human life) in the US. Damaged stock or cancelling trading with the manufacturer of a huge majority of your goods does not yield profit. With the ever more dramatic boom and bust cycle in the US it will collapse in the future, make no mistake - I just hope we have the right allies when that happens. Step 1 for me is to pull out of the middle east. Not only are we fighting a pointless war that is being dragged out, we are drawing unwanted attention to ourselves. Step 2 is to leave the EU. Step 3 is to take china and russia seriously, with the former being the far greater threat. Step 4 is to defend our territory far more rigorously, we will warn people not to enter our (for example) airspace without permission. If they do we intercept and send them away. The second time it happens we shoot them down. Step 5 is to leave the US alone, no special relationship or any of this silly ********, as it drags itself down why let it drag us down with it? What help have we had from the US since WWII, and compare that to the help we have given them since WWII. Just look at what's happening with the falkland islands, has the US helped? Nope, that has no potential to make profit.

This won't happen though and I'm sick of it. Most of this would probably be achieved by UKIP but alas people label a party as something and then deny anything that says otherwise; aka burying their heads in the sand.

Over 20 times. Wow!

I find it funny that they did it numerous times. Maybe they are testing the RAF!

Totally agree with you there. Many people think by having this special relationships with the US makes the UK look sad and makes them look like bum lickers.

If Russia wanted to wipe out Britain, it would of done so already. Also Russian Air Force had distributed an official statement on March 12, which said that two Russian Tu-160s had carried out an 11-hour routine patrol mission over the Arctic and Atlantic Oceans and were shadowed by four NATO fighters - two NATO F-16 Fighting Falcons of the Norwegian Air Force and two RAF Tornados.

"Our planes fly in strict accordance with the international rules government the use of airspace over neutral waters without violating the borders of foreign countries," Defense Ministry spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Vladimir Drik told CNN.

"The routine flights by the Tu-160 missile carriers took place in accordance with those conditions on March 10. They did not violate British airspace, and objective control materials confirm that."

Well clearly they were violating British Airspace if they were seen flying over the Isle of Lewis (thinking literally here)? Why do they need to do routine flyovers anyway :/
