RAF Rivet joint and the SU-27s
Well then:
Article 6 1
For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack:- on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France 2, on the territory of Turkey or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer;
- on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any otherarea in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.
Russian aircraft shot dwn
Just my uninformed opinion, but for me this was quite deliberate and very much in keeping with an increasingly desperate Russia. Use something big and obvious like a smoky old R-27 which has already seen use by both sides in the conflict and make sure you fire it at a safe distance from the RJ and just launch it in boresight mode so it can’t track. Knowing that all these Forte/RJ/ Global Hawk flights are quite probably providing real-time tactical targeting data to the Ukrainians with which to attack Russian ground assets must be a bitter pill to swallow.
In other news the allegations of the US being responsible for the Nordstream pipeline sabotage seem to be gathering steam, reports of US Seahawk radar tracks directly over the damage site prior to the incident and the Swedes being reticent about releasing their investigation findings are adding fuel to the fire.
Just a rumour

I can't think of any valid reason why. Even the idea that America would be trying to push its own oil reserves seems ludicrous to me.
America stands to lose a lot more by doing so if discovered than anything it could gain.

The less we know, the safer the missions will be.

It is a tale. Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
The question therefore has to be "Why". Why would the Americans sabotage a pipeline feeding friendly countries?

For my education, is there any reason that Rivet Joint flies a stretched figure 8 pattern rather than an oval (https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae01d0)?

YANK02 (200 Suoer King Air) seems to be doing the same.

Just sate yourself with the knowledge that those who need to know why they operate the way they do are well aware of why, whilst those who don't need to know are justifiably kept in the dark.
Thank you.
