The Bears have been doing this for a couple of years. For a long time after the collapse of the USSR, the patrols ceased. Including the SU-35 on the patrols is an escalation. Hadn't heard about that. Gotta say, the Russians have always designed some very unique aircraft. Dave | |||

Business Insider posted this article about the incident. BI articles are quoted a lot, but I often find their writing a bit thin. This article mentions that the Russian plane is at an advantage because it can show off its external mounted weapons and the F-22 cannot because they are carried internally. WTH? https://www.businessinsider.co...-disadvantage-2018-9 Dave | |||
