was it ever feasible/possible for a Russian bomber to strike Britain? I'm starting to think it was impossible, from what you're telling me?
You're not annoying me.

Perfectly possible, but the Bears normally operated from the North Russian coast and there was a lot of NATO stuff between them and us.

Theoretically they could also use stand-off missiles approaching from Europe, but there would be lots of stuff in their way again.

You talking to me? What's next?
From what TC said earlier, most likely an OH.
