The Norwegian military scrambled fighter jets twice on Thursday, to monitor yet another series of flights by Russian jets just outside Norwegian air space.
The Norwegian F-16 fighter jets took off from Bodø in the early morning hours to keep an eye on Russia bombers flying in international airspace off the Norwegian coast.
It was the latest of several such incidents in recent months, as Russia apparently is trying to assert its presence in the north. The Russians have stepped up military exercises from its Arctic bases and flown near Norway and the UK, both members of NATO.
A Norwegian military spokesman said the Russian aircraft stayed well away from the coast and did not near Norwegian territory.

I liked it better in the old days when the ruskies would ground a sub, be stuck on the rocks for days, and then deny that they were there.
Good times...

Visit the DR Pepper Museum in Waco Texas if you ever get there. You can still buy Dr. Pepper made with Real Cane Sugar.
