The Norwegian military scrambled fighter jets twice on Thursday, to monitor yet another series of flights by Russian jets just outside Norwegian air space.
The Norwegian F-16 fighter jets took off from Bodø in the early morning hours to keep an eye on Russia bombers flying in international airspace off the Norwegian coast.
It was the latest of several such incidents in recent months, as Russia apparently is trying to assert its presence in the north. The Russians have stepped up military exercises from its Arctic bases and flown near Norway and the UK, both members of NATO.
A Norwegian military spokesman said the Russian aircraft stayed well away from the coast and did not near Norwegian territory.

No, it looks slightly different................
According to the newspaper Nordlys (in North Norway) russian authorities stated it was two Tu-95MS Bear on a 12,5 hour training mission over the Arctic and the northern part of the Atlantic, together with two “other bombers” from the eastern Amur-region.
The norwegian vipers, who took of in 12 minutes, were called back when the russians headed fo Iceland.

Be patient, those too will happen again soon.
I’m waiting for them to fly into each other, crash and blame it on Holland.
I remember the bottles with the logo and 10 2 4 painted on them.
Scored some made with cane sugar recently. It was good.
Carbonated prune juice is not my idea of a delightful beverage. Ever wonder why you are the only one drinking the stuff? I don’t know how they continue to manufacture the stuff when you are their only customer.
That one’s a doozy!
It does not taste like prune juice. And I like prune juice...........gotta run...............
