InyaAzz Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 This has started happening ..after a lull..much more now that Russia has a sack. They want that 'Super Power' status back, and keeping the West true is one way to do it. These flights used to happen all the time...then they stopped..and now they're back on again.

Tomcat0403 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 The Russians are shady as hell...I have no respect for them what so ever. We shouldn't have stopped after WWII and listened to Gen. Patton. When they can attack a country like Georgia so ruthlessly, what are their true motives?

ReconRat Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 what InyaAzz said... they are back to projecting power.Besides, they like Obama too... they just wanted to visit and see him. Give them a break, will ya? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Like I said when they invaded Georgia......Putin's still in charge over there. He's just pullin' the strings a'la Cheney style....."Power behind the throne"Never really understood the whole NORAD bit. Maybe back in the day, but isn't it kinda obsolete/redundant now with the technological/weaponry advancesAside from the whole 2 are stronger than 1 thing I guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReconRat Posted March 1, 2009 Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 that bomber looks like its from the stone ages.Tu-95 "Bear" from the 1950s, almost as old as the B-52 design. It flies nearly as fast. And nearly as far. It isn't a bomber anymore, it's used for reconnaissance or ELINT (ELectronic INTelligence gathering) or missile carry for attacking aircraft carriers or sometimes anti-submarine patrol at low altitude. It is still considered a very serious threat to aircraft carriers.The one in Canada was probably ELINT, gathering intel from intercepting signals. That can be done from hundreds of miles away. And yes, it probably did have something to do with the US president being there in Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
