Vlad is starting to sweat, his criminality is slowly starting to emerge so he is using threatening tactics, I presume.
The murder of Mr. Litvinenko put many hundreds of people's lives in jeopardy and he knows it, he knows there will be consequences if it is suggested beyond reasonable doubt that, that order came from the very top. He refused to extradite the two individuals and that, to me (being the cynical barsteward that I am) suggests he has something to hide.

I believe they came down the usual GIUK route and turned left at the Scillies. Nothing at all to do with the Litvinenko inquiry, of course. Just a coincidence.
Hmmmm, according to beeb, they "flew right arround UK, came within 25 miles (tricky, near Dover that would put them over France) and were intercepted by RAF Tornado's. Well done MRCA

Seems they did not fly right around UK and no Tonka mentioned now!

I posted the following on the FC Forum a little while ago.
As I say , make of it what you will , but it certainly suggests the Bears
flew as far east as Eastbourne before turning about.
A replay of yesterday's movements in the Channel show the Typhoon heading east mid channel on the edge of UK FIR
It then turns about abeam Eastbourne and runs parallel to the FIR boundary with tanker some way behind until abeam Selsey
where the Typhoon carries out one RH orbit and meets the tanker and starts refuelling.
Tanking is complete abeam Swanage , tanker turns north , Typhoon departs to the west again following the line of the FIR boundary.
Make of this what you will , but it suggests that the Tu54s "did" fly up channel as far as a line Eastbourne/Dieppe

What sort of altitude are these games played at? I would have thought that most of the Channel is pretty busy with airliners in CAS up to around FL450.

And if they are flying just outside the London FIR boundary then they must be within the Paris or Brest FIR. Don't the French mind the infringement of 'their' airspace?

On the BBC 10pm news the reporter in the studio stated it was Tornados that made the interception again......http://www.pprune.org/images/smilies/thumbs.gif
