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.

🇬🇧 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

The MoD said Monday that a Russian “Bear F” maritime patrol aircraft had repeatedly approached the U.K.’s carrier strike group in the Norwegian sea in an “unsafe and unprofessional” maneuver late last week. www.politico.eu/article/brit...

Russian Tu-142 flew “unnecessarily close” to HMS Prince of Wales in Norwegian Sea on 2 July and dropped “large number” of sonar buoys, MoD calling it "unsafe and unprofessional”. Two F-35 scrambled to intercept, notable the one on deck in first image has live missiles. h/t @deborahaynes.bsky.social

The milestone flight came as the Royal Navy carrier HMS Prince of Wales was approached by Russian military aircraft in the Norwegian Sea in what the UK Ministry of Defence described as an "unsafe and unprofessional" manoeuvre late last week.

The atomic-weapons-wielding 'russian bear', is in fact such a sorry Potemkin village, such a cheap cardboard cut-out, that its hapless Führer has decided to move one of his prized assets to the Kola Peninsula to protect it from the precision strikes of Ukrainian long-range kinetic sanctions.

This morning I am at the Kharkiv Zoo. It was struck by a Russian drone on June 15, 2026.  The strike caused a fire in one of the enclosures and resulted in the deaths of several small animals. The habitat is beautiful. Here is a sleeping bear. 86 Putin.

Proud to be onboard HMS Prince of Wales and back amongst those serving on operations. Deployed in the High North, our Carrier Strike Group is working with NATO partners to defend Europe and deter adversaries. I am very grateful for their dedicated service.

The russian Bear-F plane passed at low altitude and "unnecessarily close" to the HMS Prince of Wales aircraft carrier and is believed to have dropped 10 sonobuoys into the water on Thursday
