Bombardiere rusești Tu-95MS înarmate cu rachete Kh-101, interceptate de avioane F-35 lângă Norvegia • Newsweek România
Two Russian Tu-95MS bombers armed with Kh-101 cruise missiles were intercepted by Norwegian F-35s during a five-hour flight over international waters near Norway. The mission, described by Moscow as a scheduled patrol, did not violate any national airspace. The bombers took off from Olenya Air Base and were accompanied by Russian Su-33 fighter jets. The presence of armed bombers prompted Norway to scramble F-35s for identification and surveillance. Moscow confirmed that foreign aircraft monitored the bombers during the mission, asserting that all flights complied with international regulations. This incident highlights ongoing military activities in the Arctic region.
