'Bears' over the North Sea

Post by Key »

Cold War memories alive...

From NOS Teletekst:

Two Dutch F-16s intercepted two Tu-95MS over the North Sea this afternoon (19oct).
During the night of 16 September, British Danish and German aircraft intercepted two Russian planes as well.

The flight of the Russian aircraft was not illegal, but no contact could be made. Hence the scramble to intercept.
