Danny - Yes that occurred to me as well. Mind you, we dont know how many of those Bears in the photo are serviceable . It might be a bit like Akrotiri in the 70s when we used to tease the blokes on 9 and 35 about their impressive Vulcan static display, as so many were u/s at any given time!
I expect the Russians to push into UK airspace soon.
I hope you are wrong
Hangarshuffle. As they frequently point out they are currently doing nothing that contravenes international law, certainly nothing that we and other NATO countries don't already do ourselves. They have certainly had no compunctions about a
de facto invasion of Ukraine, but in their heart of hearts they regard that country as still part of Russia. Invading the UK's (or any other NATO country's) airspace would be a huge step.
