Nothing went into UK airspace. The Russians announce a time window to NATO for these out of area flights. It is all part of the deconfliction. Russia and NATO still have laison offices. The have been doing this for quite some considerable time now. Last year the Russians went over to the US/Canadian ADIZs at the culmination of an announced strategic exercise.

During 2001 two Tu-160s went halway down the UK Eastern coastline. The Russians had announced their intentions and put a 4 to 5 day timeline on the flights.

Don’t believe everything you read in the news.

Less than half, would be my take on things.

Any time someone I know, or I, has “insider” knowledge about an event, we always without fail come away amazed at how poor the reporting is, and how much they got wrong. It has happened enough that I now assume this is the case on everything I see.

If you desire to be a mouth piece for Putin's propaganda machine, move to Red Square and work for TASS or PRAVDA.

Next will tell everyone that Putin's Kremlin does not suppy weapons to Iran & Syria.
