US Navy Intercepts Russian Bombers
By LOLITA C. BALDOR – 50 minutes ago

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. fighter planes intercepted two Russian bombers, including one that buzzed an American aircraft carrier in the western Pacific during the weekend, The Associated Press has learned.

A U.S. military official says that one Russian Tupolev 95 flew directly over the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz twice, at a low altitude of about 2,000 feet, while another bomber circled about 58 miles out. The official was speaking on condition of anonymity because the reports on the flights were classified as secret.

The Saturday incident, which never escalated beyond the flyover, comes amid heightened tensions between the United States and Russia over U.S. plans for a missile defense system based in Poland and the Czech Republic.

Such Russian bomber flights were common during the Cold War, but have been rare since.

The bombers were among four Russian Tupolev 95s launched from Ukrainka in the middle of the night, including one that Japanese officials say violated their country's airspace over an uninhabited island south of Tokyo.

U.S. officials tracked and monitored the bombers as two flew south along the Japanese coast, and two others flew farther east, coming closer to the Nimitz and the guided missile cruiser USS Princeton.

As the bombers got about 500 miles out from the U.S. ships, four F/A-18 fighters were launched from the Nimitz, the official said. The fighters intercepted the Russian bombers about 50 miles south of the Nimitz.

Not rude, comrade. Just brutally honest.

America and other NATO countries put their troops right next to the Russian borders, so Americans should be surprised to see Russian bombers than.... :)

NATO Build-Up On Russia's Borders
Worst Treachery Since Munich 1938

(George Bush) He repeatedly assured Soviet leader Gorbachev that the reunification of Germany would never take the North Atlantic Alliance closer to the Soviet border. I can still open my old notebook or play back an old tape to recall what he said: “The allied forces will not be inching closer to your border.”

The arrival of NATO forces at the border of Russia translates into more than a threat to the Russian Federation. Russia will find a way to meet this threat. The American super-hawks had better remember that Russia remains a powerful country with impressive stocks of nuclear missiles.

The Tupolev Tu-160 (NATO reporting name Blackjack) is a supersonic, variable-geometry heavy bomber designed by the Soviet Union. Similar to the B-1 Lancer, it was the last Soviet strategic bomber design and the heaviest combat aircraft ever built. Introduced in 1987, production of the aircraft still continues, with 16 currently in service with the Russian Air Force. Its pilots call the Tu-160 the “White Swan”, due to the surprising maneuverability and antiflash white finish of the aircraft.

Big deal. I've seen more Bears and Mays and Buffaloes from the decks of aircraft carriers than many aircrew have from the cockpit, and that was when Russia had a military. I'm frankly amazed that they could find anyone stupid enough to climb into one of those shitboxes.[hr]"The arrival of NATO forces at the border of Russia translates into more than a threat to the Russian Federation. Russia will find a way to meet this threat. The American super-hawks had better remember that Russia remains a powerful country with impressive stocks of nuclear missiles."

They'll send a bunch of drunk-ass senior officers to the border in tanks, where they'll surrender, just like thousands of others have. "Thousands". Life in Milwaukee beats the hell out of life in Leningrad. We own Russia, and we're not even making mortgage payments. :thumbsup:

That would be an act of war.

Why do you desire war with Russia? :love:

Are you suggesting that nations which abut Russia should not be permitted to join or maintain a membership in NATO?

I thought his point was quite clear. George Bush made a promise to Gorbachev that his son is now breaking.

You're absolutely right, he's not. He's also making a colossal mistake in Eastern Europe. But then, given his track record, I can't say that I'm at all surprised.

His father made the mistake of promising for future presidents.

Both Greenspan and David Walker have warned us about the threat the deficit and national debt pose to our long term economic stability.

Continuing to antagonize the world and maintaining the status quo of the ridiculous military industrial complex will only result in our economic collapse.
