    Bombers will blast off from 60 RAF British aircrafts to simulate strikes — as EU threatens to ‘annihilate’ Russia


    NUCLEAR bombers will blast off from Britain to simulate strikes — as Europe threatened to “annihilate” Russian forces if they unleash nukes in Ukraine.

    RAF jets will scramble with 60 aircraft from a dozen Nato allies in a show of force codenamed Steadfast Noon.

    'Well, this has been the nicest chat I've had in a month of Mondays. And I'll not deny that I'll sleep easier tonight and with a lighter heart. You've given me a powerful lot to think over, but I'll put it off until tomorrow.


    Please think quicker Barliman, although your brews are fine.

    Ya right. Once one side launches nukes it's all over for all of us. Russia has over 6,000 nuke war heads many of them mobile carriers. The only people who want and are praying for a nuke war is The West. The first nukes will be thrown by The West and NOT by Russia but at the end of the day it will not matter who throws the first nuke.

    BTW: What does it mean that 60 bombers blast offs from 60 RAF aircraft? Is that air force bases in the UK?

    Fell free to ask the Sun news desk if you want to make sense of their post.

    But be reassured that we've been told (further in the article) that 'The jets will simulate “tactical strikes” with thermo-nuclear weapons.'.

    The article states they're taking off from RAF Lakenheath. I used to live about a mile past the runway. I could literally hear the base intercom system from my house. The base is actually an American base.

    The only one to use nukes first will be the asshat in Washington that stole Election 2020. Democrats have NOTHING but a platform to kill babies. They'd LOVE to "bring the country together" because we are at war.

    It won't happen from the Russians. IMO, all this angst with Russia is thanks to Hillary's phoney dossier and finger pointing at Russia. Yeah, Putin's nuts...but...so what.

    I was stationed in Suffolk (Thetford) for a couple of exercises and the Yankie jets were a nuisance to your well deserved sleeping.

    Oh Yeah. Mil jets (Gen 1-3) are not designed in any way to minimize noise.

    Then, I suppose, neither were the Spitfires and P51's of a previous generation...

    Realistically I didn't get much sleep while on exercises anyway.

    Bloody Air Forces get their necessary flight rest (whatever it's called). Digging trenches over 2/3 days doesn't really get you much.
