Sorry, but I don't know how to post pictures on FR, but if you follow the link there is a good picture of the Backfire, - and it looks like the missile in question is this one: (an anti ship missile) (but I'm no expert)

And here's a link to aftenposten TV, an interesting video of Russian bombers and a tanker on mission, taken by Norwegian F-16s:

Remember when the Soviet threat of nuclear holocaust loomed over Europe? And the U.S.A. was Europe's dearest friend?

And then the Americans finally eliminated the Soviet threat? And all of Europe breathed a sigh of relief?

And suddenly the Americans couldn't get Europe on the phone?

And then they found out that not only did the Europeans considered the Americans a bunch of tasteless, upstart, parvenu bumpkins, which everybody knew they had considered the Americans to be all along, but that they also considered the U.S.A. to be the Great Satan?

Do you suppose that, if the Ghost of the Soviet Union should return and reestablish itself, with its vast and unpredictable nuclear arsenal, the U.S.A. will once again become Europe's dearest friend? And the Americans will once again become charming, if naive, bumpkins?
