Russian nuclear bombers intercepted near Guam

Gee, I wonder why the air force couldn't do that on 9/11

commie bastard

100 year before the mast.

Will ye serve?

Otherwise, all your sins laid bare.

Isnt any plan capable or carrying a nuclear weapon?

just a little reminder..

Why are the Russians still flying turbo-prop bombers??

Because they suck. Russian military has turned into rust after the downfall of the Soviet Union.

Vladimir Zhirinovsky is Russia's equivalent to the Tea Party - he is respected about as much as Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, or Donald Trump crying about a birth certificate. In otherwords even Russians think he's a fucking kook

wow i said it as a joke when it happened, i might be closer to the truth than i thought

Because the turbo props allow an unrefueled range of nearly 10,000 miles and a top speed of 575 mph. The design requirements were for range and load.

It's expected to be operational until 2040. Pretty remarkable aircraft.

I'm glad we do shit like that too.

Did they cause Guam to tip over?

I have a problem with all of this. I've read a good portion of the NDAA and in the first 25 pages in clear black and white, anyone can read this readily available document, it says we are sharing our classified ICBM nuclear missile information with Russia. This is now, the NDAA is in effect.
I'm sorry to inform some of you who enjoy blaming all the governments corruption on Obama, as much as he sucks they all signed on and approved this treasonous act of war declaration on the Mexican people.

Because if you actually go on and read the NDAA both side hold be equally appalled!

You're not very bright. Shut the fuck up.

Democratic prick!!!

Oh shit!

I so hope they nuke the US. Fucking americans.

Impossible considering it happened before the meteorite

As I predicted WW3 will begin by Junes end and judgment on USA will intensify over the next 90 days.

Thread: WW3 before June 2013

You're an anonymous coward and AC's make a million predictions every day. Get a name if you expect anyone to care about your ramblings.

Most "plans" don't carry weapons.

they did find pieces around the hole in the lake you have not been reading just looking a videos and pictures no doubt.

And where is your name you cowardous maximus?

thats not very nice,, just sit under what we left you or we will shoot more cancer causing depleted uranium up your ass.

Pretty much this^^^

He's not the one making stupid fucking predictions, Mr. Asshat.

This happened many times in my country last year. Still don't know why they make these flights...

This week’s bomber flights are a sign the Russians are targeting the island as well, one defense official said.

Guam also plays a key role in the Pentagon’s semi-secret strategy called the Air-Sea Battle Concept designed to counter what the Pentagon calls China’s anti-access and area denial weapons—precision guided missiles, submarines, anti-satellite weapons, and other special warfighting capabilities designed to prevent the U.S. military from defending allies or keeping sea lanes open in the region.

“They were sending a message to Washington during the state of the union speech,” one official said.

The bomber flights also coincided with growing tensions between China and Japan over the Senkaku islands. A Chinese warship recently increased tensions between Beijing and Tokyo by using targeting radar against a Japanese warship.

“One could argue the Russians were poking a bit of fun at the Obama Administration, seeing how they flew these long-range bombers close to Guam on the same day as the state of the union address,” he said.

“But the broader implications are more profound,” said Groombridge, now with the private strategic intelligence firm LIGNET. “The Russians are clearly sending a signal that they consider the Pacific an area of vital national strategic interest and that they still have at least some power projection capabilities to counterbalance against any possible increase in U.S. military assets in the region.


The Russian air incursion around Guam was the third threatening strategic bomber incident since June. On July 4th, two Bear H’s operated at the closest point to the United States that a Russian bomber has flown since the Soviet Union routinely conducted such flights.

The latest Russian nuclear saber rattling through bomber flights comes as the Obama administration is planning a new round of strategic arms reduction talks with Russia. State Department arms official Rose Gottemoeller was recently in Moscow for arms discussions.
