Sep 14, 2007 17:53 | Updated Sep 14, 2007 17:53 Brits, Norwegians intercept Russian warplanes in NATO airspace By ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON British fighter jets intercepted two Russian long-range bombers that crossed into NATO airspace Friday, the British military said, without revealing where the incident took place. Britain's Ministry of Defense said two Tu-160 "Blackjack" bombers were initially intercepted by Norwegian F16s before they entered NATO airspace patrolled by Britain. A ministry spokesman refused to give any indication of where the event took place, saying the information was classified. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with ministry policy. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satelli...cle%2FShowFull

UK jets shadow Russian bombers Norway says Russia has increased military flights in the Arctic The UK's Royal Air Force has launched fighter jets to intercept eight Russian military planes flying in airspace patrolled by Nato, UK officials say. Four RAF F3 Tornado aircraft were scrambled in response to the Russian action, the UK's defence ministry said. The Russian planes - long-range bombers - had earlier been followed by Norwegian F16 jets. Russia recently revived a Cold War-era practice of flying bombers on long-range patrols. In a statement the MoD said the eight Russian Tupolev Tu-95 Bear aircraft, flying in loose formation of four pairs, were initially intercepted by the Norwegian air force. Radar tracking They were tracked by the Norwegian aircraft until entering the Nato area for which the UK has responsibility in the early hours of Thursday morning. Under established Nato procedures the MoD said it launched quick reaction alert aircraft in order to identify the bombers, as is routine. Four F3 Tornados were launched in two waves from RAF Leeming, in North Yorkshire. A Boeing E-3D airborne warning and control aircraft and a VC-10 refuelling tanker supported the operation, the MoD said. The Russian bombers eventually altered course to leave the Nato zone, being tracked by UK aircraft and the radar station at RAF Boulmer, Northumberland. Norwegian armed forces They were presumed to be heading back to their base. The incident was the latest this summer in which British fighters have been used to warn off long-range Russian reconnaissance aircraft. An MoD spokesman said: "The re-emergence of long-range flights from Russia is something the Russians are entitled to do. "All countries have the right to maintain or up-grade and exercise their defence capabilities. "The motivation behind any Russian military activity is a matter for the Russian government." 'Several incidents' Earlier an MoD spokesman said the Russian bombers had approached but were not in British airspace. Spokesman for the Norwegian armed forces, Lt Col John Inge Oegland, told the BBC the Russian bombers flew in international airspace from the Barents Sea to the Atlantic, before turning back. Two Norwegian F-16s shadowed them on Thursday morning and another two went up later, he said. There have been several similar incidents in recent months, Lt-Col Oegland added. "Norway is following the increased Russian activity in the far north with interest," he told the BBC News website. He said the Russian flights were not causing alarm in Norway. "Our systems are adequate," he said, when asked whether Norway was bolstering its security in the area. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/6981541.stm

![]() hier begint de spierballentaal http://en.rian.ru/world/20070913/78518873.html 13/09/2007 14:32 WASHINGTON, September 13 (RIA Novosti) - The U.S. has a 14-ton super bomb more destructive than the vacuum bomb just tested by Russia, a U.S. general said Wednesday. The statement was made by retired Lt. General McInerney, chairman of the Iran Policy Committee, and former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the Air Force. McInerney said the U.S. has "a new massive ordnance penetrator that's 30,000 pounds, that really penetrates ... Ahmadinejad has nothing in Iran that we can't penetrate." He also said the new Russian bomb was not a "penetrator." On Tuesday, the Fox News television channel said: "A recent decision by German officials to withhold support for any new sanctions against Iran has pushed a broad spectrum of officials in Washington to develop potential scenarios for a military attack on the Islamic regime.". Commenting on the report, McInerney said: "Since Germany has backed out of helping economically, we do not have any other choice. ... They've forced us into the military option." McInerney described some possible military campaign scenarios and said: "The one I favor the most, of course, is an air campaign," he continued. He said that bombing would be launched by 65-70 stealth bombers and 400 bombers of other types. "Forty-eight hours duration, hitting 2500 aimed points to take out their [Iranian] nuclear facilities, their air defense facilities, their air force, their navy, their Shahab-3 retaliatory missiles, and finally their command and control. And then let the Iranian people take their country back," the general said describing the campaign, adding it would be "easy." McInerney is well-known among the U.S. conservatives. He is the chairman of the Iran Policy Committee co-chaired by James Woolsey, former CIA director, William A. Nitze, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Richard Schifter, former Assistant Secretary of State, and Professor Raymond Tanter, former Personal Representative of the Secretary of Defense to arms control talks in Europe. The McInerney statement was made following a Fox News report that U.S. "officials are making plans to attack Iran as early as next summer," since Washington believes diplomatic efforts have failed.
