Russian bombers in the skies near the UK: RAF jets scramble to intercept

Perhaps NATO countries should issue a NOTAM stating that, due to the possibility that MH360 may be in the possession of terrorists with the intent to use it as a weapon, any unidentified and unannounced aircraft approaching NATO territory in a threatening manner will be shot down.  Then, for a change, enforce it.

Sure; if we want to escalate things to big balls of sunshine. It's a chess match rather than a boxing match. The bomber crews don't want to be shot down any more than the RAF want to fly alongside them watching the bomb doors open.

Too much real estate for one country. Their new buddies, the Chinese, will shortly be more than a little interested in expanding into those big empty spaces for whatever the Chinese equivalent of Lebensraum is.

The Russian Mafia Oligarchs have bought a lot of the most expensive properties in central London-upwards of 20 million per 'house'. I don't think Putin would risk ruining that party for his buddies by being a total arsehole and piss off HMG who could make life quite difficult for it's new foreign residents.

They'd immediately alert Comrade Khrushchev, who would order Moscow Air Defence District to scramble SU-9 interceptors to shoot it down?
;D ;D ;D

You get a B-36 in the air anywhere in the world, let me know and I will be there. The last two aircraft on my "want to see fly in person" bucket list are the B-36 and the P-61.  The P-61 is in works at Mid-Atlantic in Reading, Pa, should be ready to fly in a year or so.  Back in the late 70s when I worked in Texas, there were a group of old B-36 guys in Ft Worth trying to get a B-36 back in the air, but they gave up a few years later.


The P-61 is sweet. Like an oversized P-38. The B-36 is just a beast. Would love to see one of those fly over.


Check out the movie "Strategic Air Command". Was a great 50's propaganda movie starring Jimmy Stewart, Harry Morgan, June Allyson, and featuring a ton of outstanding B-36 footage. Filmed in vistaVison© "A story far ranging and spectacular! Yet as close to you as a kiss". "You'll stand beside the women who wait in fear, and fly beside men who live in danger".

Trouble is that that right of 2015 still believes that the make-believe movie crap they were fed growing up was real.

Silly right-wingers. Always believing what they see in some Hollywood movie. The Soviet Union was always a friend to the world.  Just gentle giants who would never do a thing to disrupt world peace and harmony. It's a shame they had to have a military just to keep up with those evil Americans.


Even today when Russian bombers are simply passing out peace and love in the skies over the UK, they are threatened by the evil west. If only Putin and the Communists could run the world we'd have free healthcare for all and free education too! Just like Michael Moore's Cuba!

It still doesn't detract that SAC was a crass propaganda film that some lapped up unquestioning; just like any propaganda from any side.

"Silly right wingers" is right; still in terror of the ghost of Lenin while multinational corporate robber barons are stealing their children's birthright. The conservative propaganda served up by Hollywood primed post-WWII America to swallow the same jingoistic crap and repeatedly send their sons off to kill 3rd World peasants without a peep while their future was steadily being stolen.  There's a straight line between John Wayne's fake heroism for Boomer kids and Rush Limbagh so easily bamboozling the same group for his billionaire patrons as they became politically active.
