Norway also scrambled fighters yesterday to follow two Tu-160 Russian bombers, a more modern jet-engine strategic bomber than the propeller-driven Tu-90, which passed near Norwegian air space in the Barents Sea.

Tu-160

No, it’s an American B-1. Look at the wing where the USAF emblem is mounted.

Always loved the F-101 Voodoo. Didn’t know Canada flew them too.

Putin is pushin’ to see how far he can go.

He’s feeling inconsequential, and he doesn’t like that?
