I like the way the fighter pilot showed the bear some missiles...hahahaa

1. The "missile carrier" was the one videotaping. It is a BOMBER. A Tu-95... And yes it CAN fire missiles but is technically a bomber.

2. Those were A-A missiles not anti-ship.

3. The Mirage 2000 does not have anti-ship capabilities.

Not strange at all, it's called 'wagon-wheel effect'.

Thanks, interesting

Those are Eurofighters

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

And their loaded with AIM 120's Air to Air and the new AIM 132 short range Sidewinder replacements.

All fire and forget new Gen weapons ,That "Bear" would be good as dead if they fired.

The plane in the video was a Eurofighter
typhoon.



.

nobodys afraid of that bear aircraft, it would be downed like an expendable piece of old machinery. Its the cruise missiles they carry that we are worried about.

The Russian bombers were in international airspace.

Interesting footage since it comes from the Russian side.

I wonder if this was released to show "bluster" and use as a propaganda tool to puff up the chests of the Russian military.

Any idea what range their cruise missiles have?

I would suspect if they were truly intent on launching they would be flying at or below 1000 feet to avoid detection. Is that assumption wrong?

What bugs me is how close they could get in proximity to a NATO country before launching a cruise missile with the range to strike.

This is old footage.

And for the record, the OP is being inaccurate in the Subject
line.

The Russian bomber was NOT "encircled."

2-4 fighters typically respond to Russian flights along the borders of NATO airspace. In this case, t looks like 2.

This is almost a daily occurrence in Europe as well as N. America. Of interest, yes. Worthy of panic and sensationalism, no, particularly when the Russians are in INTERNATIONAL air space.

nothing wrong with the bear its very reliable capable aircraft can carry heavy payload like what said above its was flying in international waters the US does it all over the brits do it propaganda by UK government

^^^ I tried to imbed boyz in the hood "we got a problem" clip but I'm youtube imbedding challenged

And all the Bear flyers have to do is drop it, and it makes no difference if the fighters shoot it down.
Such a dismal display of what our future really holds being controlled and dominated by psychopaths.

Something tells you you aren't a person that thinks one step ahead...

That, and you shouldn't meddle in geopolitics.

And by the way, these are Euro fighter typhoons, the big boys, not some F16's on loan to some Baltic republic.

by who Obama ? Obama is a streak of piss putin would snap him in half.

if you mean the brainwashed idiots in the military willing to Obama's bidding for a meagre wage then yes maybe.

There is not just Mirage, there is many different fighters.
Fully armed battle group including Typhoons.
