UK intercepts Russian 'Bear F' aircraft near HMS Prince of Wales
⚡️ UK intercepts Russian Bear-F aircraft after it buzzed carrier strike group in Norwegian Sea. "This activity was unsafe and unprofessional," a U.K. Defense Ministry spokesperson said.
robscatray.bsky.social20Shoot it down. Won’t be buzzing anyone after that
paws101 [Paul 🇦🇺 🦘For Ukraine 🇺🇦]8ummmmm how does a Tupolev Tu-142 'buzz' anything?
Nick Sargeant3Saying a Bear-F has been used to "buzz" a carrier strike group is like claiming pensioners on mobility scooters are snatching iPhones on the street.
dagoox.bsky.social2They still have the nerve doing this while Russia's economy is pretty much crippled by Ukraine's sanctions.
catkins.bsky.social2I’m curious why Russia dropped a large number of sonobuoys near the carrier group
Bubber1If it got close enough to buzz them, it got close enough to kill them. THAT was the message.
🇬🇧 Britain intercepted a Russian Tu-142 "Bear F" maritime patrol aircraft after it approached the HMS Prince of Wales carrier strike group in the Norwegian Sea on July 2. The UK said the aircraft behaved "unsafe and unprofessionally" by dropping sonobuoys near the carrier
Peteritis Kocinsh/ Big Naturals3Hey, but british leftists are saying britain has nothing to worry, since theres plenty of buffer states inbetween them and russian that they can throw under the bus. This is nothing.
elonimnot.bsky.social2Down the fucking thing! It had no business there as usual
musikpirat.bsky.social1Maybe they should do something unsafe in return and fire some live rounds.
Unprecedented russian provocation in the Norwegian Sea. A russian "Bear-F" spy plane made 3 close passes over the UK’s flagship aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales, dropping dozens of parachute-rigged sonobuoys directly into its path. RAF F-35 jets scrambled from the deck to intercept. 🧵 1/4
Sven-Erik Volberg18The MoD labeled the move "unsafe and unprofessional." While sonobuoys are standard for tracking submarines, dropping them in front of a giant carrier is viewed as deliberate harassment. The falling, meter-long tubes posed a direct risk to the flight deck and airborne aircraft. 2/4

Corporal von Fartburger2I think Putin realizes that there is a bullet somewhere in Russia with his name on it.
Edward Walker3Thread. There’s going to more of this.
Corporal von Fartburger2Putin, the master strategist: "By harassing superior foreign militaries I will prevent myself from being shot in the head for losing a stupid war to a smaller country with a smaller military."
CDL Associates2If it was deliberate harassment (it was), the plane should have been shot down. How long can you tolerate these Russian acts? Until they drop a ton bomb on an aircraft carrier?
