Fucking Putin, how dare he fly his crappy 1950's planes over Cornwall?
If he wants to nuke something, he can nuke Kent. Nobody gives a fuck about Kent.

Yeah but in Russian that would read 'VVS'.
Presumably in tribute to legendary Indian cricketer VVS Laxman.

Ahh, i read that bit of the thread weeks ago!
Out of interest, who would win in a fight between the uk and Russia? Should we be worried?

Nothing to be worried about at all - It would probably be all over so quickly, we wouldn't even notice!
And that's allowing for the fact that we actually have a substantial chunk of Russia's weapons grade uranium in storage in the UK already - They shipped it in to Kinloss for storage at Coulport a few years back as part of some agreement relating to ex-Soviet nukes.

You can't park here sir
not really unless we go and poke the Russians they don't really have the ability to go annoy people unless its by tank.
the fleet they sent to see Australia had to take a tug along in case anything broke down
which rather ruins the effect

Mig 29 and SU37 do better displays than the EUrofighter, and the T50 which is just about to enter service looks kickass

Trained observers?
What was probably the Typhoon tanker support (standard grey A330 - not the escort or TU-95's) flew a circuit inland over much of Cornwall late yesterday afternoon:
The route would appear to suggest the typical profile of initial inbound intercept off the Scottish coast, then round to the SW Atlantic approaches crossing the oceanic air routes west of Ireland on the way, before turning around to head back again to the north of Scotland.
^ looks like the fuckers want to annex the scilly islands
No, no: that's the A330 tanker track. There's no (unclassified) Bear track 'cos the transponders were off.
The "eyewitness" did mention seeing a "jet". And the driving instructor that was with her wasn't saying anything.

If you are saying it was RAAF, that would be even more confusing.

It merely illustrates where the tanker loitered to refuel the intercepting Typhoons (NW of Cornwall and central northern Scotland). The route of the Tu-95's will most likely have (roughly) been back and forth on an arc extending from the west of there to the top of Scotland, around the west of Ireland.

Makes sense.Trained observers?

Yes. Perhaps I should have been a little clearer. The route is of the tanker support and doesn't indicate the route the Tu-95's took. The tankers won't hang around to refuel within observational range of the bombers. They'll probably keep a cushion of say 100 miles (or more) at all times. The Russians will have been some way away to the west and north of the indicated flightpath.
I'm suggesting the possibility that the 'observer' wasn't that observant... (ie clocked the tanker, and/or something else).

Looks like they got the satnav mixed up with the nintendo DS again.

Before we go any further with this, which Kent are you referring to?
