U.S. sends B-2 stealth bombers to Europe

Two of the United States' most recognizable military aircraft -- a pair of B-2 stealth bombers -- caught the eyes of residents as they arrived in Europe this week for training.

"They seem to defy science!" said one Twitter user in Cirencester, England, who saw one of the stealth bombers in flight.

The bombers' unique radar-evading design always draws attention, as does this training mission in particular, which comes at a time of conflict in Ukraine.

An Air Force news release about the mission did not mention the Ukraine crisis, but U.S. fighter jets have previously been deployed to Europe on similar training missions to show support for NATO allies.

Even de linkjes gelezen

De B-52's door de straat waarvan het eigendom betwist wordt door China en Japan, en de US de Japanse zaak steunt.

De RC-135 van de tweede link vloog boven internationale wateren nabij Rusland toen hij werd aangestraald door een tracking radar vanaf het Russische vasteland... De RC-135 is daarop Zweden in gevlucht. Dit speelde zich een dag na MH-17 af.

Niet te vergelijken met het getroll met de Tu-95's

Om met straatcommando te spreken... Eens zien hoe Putin zou reageren als een patriotbatterij hier in NL een Tu-95 zou aanstralen die hier ff komt neuzen... Ze zouden er bij RT in stikken denk ik...

Russian long-range military aircraft regularly perform flights to remote geographic areas in order to train crews and certify equipment capabilities. These activities are conducted in strict accordance with international airspace regulations, without violation of other states’ national borders. This can be confirmed by objective control data in every particular case.
At the same time, the intensity of Russian long-range aviation flights cannot compare to overall activity of military aircraft of NATO States and some of the closest partners of the Alliance. Particularly, in 2014 one could notice considerable growth of flights by US and NATO States’ reconnaissance aircraft over the territory of the Baltic States, as well as over the Baltic and Barents Seas – up to 8-12 flights per week. Their air routes laid in the immediate vicinity of Russian borders.
US Air Force RC-135 strategic reconnaissance aircraft performed more than 140 such flights in 2014, compared to 22 flights in 2013.

German Orion P-3C reconnaissance planes, Danish Challengers and temporarily deployed at Lithuanian airbase Zokniai Portuguese Orions as well as non-NATO Swedish Gulfstreams were persistently brought into play in order to survey activities of the Russian Armed Forces in Kaliningrad region and the Baltic Sea area. There were more than 200 such flights in 2014, in 2013 – only 125.
NATO, British and French E-3 AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) aircraft on duty in Polish and Romanian airspace were actively used to monitor the air situation in the western part of the Black Sea, over Ukraine and Russian western regions. The intensity of their activities raised from 2 flights per month in January-February 2014 to 40-60 flights per month in March-December. The total number of flights in 2014 increased up to 460, whereas in 2013 it did not exceed 20.
The events in Ukraine were used as a pretext for significant build-up in number of some NATO States’ warplanes at airbases in Central and Eastern Europe. Under the pretence of strengthening the security of the Baltic States the quantity of fighters taking part in NATO Baltic Air Policing Mission increased by 3,5 times (from 4 to 16). Moreover, groups of NATO States’ warplanes (up to 12 fighters) have been deployed on rotational basis at Polish and Romanian airbases since the beginning of 2014.
NATO States’ tactical aviation aircraft based in Estonia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania and Bulgaria take active part in joint exercises and training with host states’ Armed Forces.
The total number of NATO States’ tactical aviation flights near Russian and Belarusian borders exceeded 3.000 in 2014 (twice as many as in 2013).

quote:

Since recently, some NATO officials through media launched a tendentious information campaign accusing Russian military aircraft creating risks for civil aviation by not switching on their transponders.
It is necessary to note that NATO States’ military aircraft always make their flights near Russian borders with transponders turned off. However, it does not mean that they are invisible to airspace control means.

Russia and Egypt just got even closer

Russia and Egypt are taking a major step forward in their relationship.

Speaking beside Egyptian Defense Minister Sidqi Sobqi in Moscow, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the two nations were planning on expanding their cooperation in military affairs, The Moscow Times reports.

"This document will for many years determine the direction of our cooperation in the military sphere," Shoigu said. He added that it was time to begin to fill the agreement with "concrete content."

The two countries will hold a joint naval drill in the Mediterranean, and select Egyptian soldiers and officers will be trained in Russian military academies.

"Naturally, in focus will be issues of training Egyptian servicemen at Russian higher education establishments of the Russian defense ministry and a number of other matters of mutual interest," Shoigu said, according to Tass.

Chinese diplomat tells West to consider Russia's security concerns over Ukraine

(Reuters) - Western powers should take into consideration Russia's legitimate security concerns over Ukraine, a top Chinese diplomat has said in an unusually frank and open display of support for Moscow's position in the crisis.

Qu Xing, China's ambassador to Belgium, was quoted by state news agency Xinhua late on Thursday as blaming competition between Russia and the West for the Ukraine crisis, urging Western powers to "abandon the zero-sum mentality" with Russia.

He said the "nature and root cause" of the crisis was the "game" between Russia and Western powers, including the United States and the European Union.

He said external intervention by different powers accelerated the crisis and warned that Moscow would feel it was being treated unfairly if the West did not change its approach.

"The West should abandon the zero-sum mentality, and take the real security concerns of Russia into consideration," Qu was quoted as saying.

His comments were an unusually public show of understanding from China for the Russian position. China and Russia see eye-to-eye on many international diplomatic issues but Beijing has generally not been so willing to back Russia over Ukraine.

China has also been cautious not to be drawn into the struggle between Russia and the West over Ukraine's future, not wanting to alienate a key ally.

It has said it would like to continue to develop "friendly cooperation" with Ukraine, and respects the ex-Soviet state's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Qu's comments coincide with talks between the United States and its European allies over harsher sanctions against Moscow.
