On flights of American bombers to Scandinavia
On flights of American bombers to Scandinavia | American strategic bombers B-52H have again been actively conducting flights in late November and early December, visiting Scandinavia as part of their deployment to Europe.
▪️ In recent days, in addition to standard flights over the North Sea, the B-52H aircraft have also flown twice over Norway. Once they flew with the Norwegian Air Force in the central part of the country.
▪️ But the second time, the B-52H reached the Varanger National Park, which borders the Kola Peninsula. There they practiced simulated bomb and missile strikes on a Northern Fleet base.
▪️ After that, the American bombers flew towards Finland, passing within 160 km of the Kaliningrad Region and 110 km of Karelia and the Murmansk Region, already over Finland itself, where they trained at the Rovaniemi range.
The purpose of these flights by this type of aviation is to demonstrate the priorities of American foreign policy. Currently, the Arctic and confrontation in this region are increasingly coming to the fore, which the US is demonstrating with such maneuvers.
