Russia-Ukraine War: US Flies B-52 Stratofortress Bombers Over NATO by Kuginzi: 5:17pm On Mar 05, 2022
By John Owen Nwachukwu

As the war between Russia and Ukraine intensifies, the United States has flown its B-52 Stratofortress bomber over NATO’s eastern flank.

The US on Friday conducted the exercise alongside German and Romanian militaries as a sign of unity in the second weekend of the war in Ukraine.

The B-52 Stratofortress, which is the US Air Force’s largest strategic bomber, took off from RAF Fairford, a Royal Air Force station in England.

A statement from the US Air Forces in Europe said the bomber carried out close air support and integrated mission training in the NATO territories including Romania where they conducted more close air support training as part of the bomber task force (BTF) missions.

CNN reports that the exercise in Romanian airspace put the bombers right on the edge of NATO countries, adjacent to Ukrainian air space.

The Russian Air Force is trying to establish air supremacy in the Ukrainian Air Space as the war rages on between the two neighbours.

“BTF rotations give us a critical opportunity to integrate and train with our allies and partners, especially during this difficult time,” said Gen. Jeff Harrigian, commander of United States Air Forces in Europe, Air Forces Africa, and NATO’s Allied Air Command.

“Training together ensures the defensive power of NATO remains unmatched,” he said.

Meanwhile, US intelligence said over 200 Russian mercenaries have been killed in Ukraine.

The US and its allies also believe that Russia may deploy more lethal weapons to break down Ukrainian resistance as quickly as possible.

They warned that there will be more civilians suffering in Ukraine in days to come and also more bombardment from Russia as President Vladimir Putin and his troops look to subdue their next-door neighbours.

EU should find a way to make peace with Russia

If a war start between the EU and Russia, it is Russians that will suffer it the most, why Americans will be watching from their TV screen in far away North America.

most part of Europe will be totally destroyed especially Eastern and Northern Europe

A lot of lives will be lost too.

I don't know who is advising the Ukrainian Prime minister, he needs to give up for this war to end.

The Ukrainians have nothing to fight for again for now.

More Ukrainians are dying everyday, cities are been destroyed, more than a million Ukrainians have become refugees and millions more will die and become refugees if the war does not end now.

cheesy
Instead of deploying vthe B-52 warplanes, the US should rather send the two most advanced stealth bombers in the world, their B2 Spirit Bomber and
Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor( World’s Deadliest Stealth Fighter) into NATO since Putin feels he has monopoly of madness and nuclear threat.
Russians and Chinese hate hearing of B2 Spirit Bomber and Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor those warplanes give them nightmare because of its stealth capabilities.
China has tried countless time to produce a replica of B2 Spirit Bomber Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor (World’s Deadliest Stealth Fighter)
but they have failed.

B2 Bomber are the only warplanes in the world that can go undetected under any country radar and drop nuclear missiles or conventional missiles.
