TOP GUNS : RUSSIAN fighter jets intercepted a US B-52 nuclear-capable bomber over the Pacific Ocean as tensions continue to rage between the nations.

Three Su-35 warplanes escorted the Stratofortress aircraft as the bomber flew close to the Russian border after being detected by radar, Putin's military officials said.

It comes as relations remain sour between Russia and the US - with Moscow and Washington locked in a power struggle and trading constantly trading barbs.

Russia has recently been hosted large scale war games which have been monitored by the US who dispatched spy planes to the region.

And the latest aerial intercept continues the two side's tit-for-tat military exercises as they each accuse the other of aggression.

Russia's national defence control centre said the B-52H bomber was detected by military forces in Russia's eastern region.

"In order to classify and escort the foreign aircraft, three Su-35s fighters from the air defense forces of the eastern military district were taken into the air," officials said, reports state-run media RIA Novosti.

Military officials added that the US Air Force plane then moved away from the Russian border and the three warplanes returned to their home base.

And they insisted the Russian aircraft carried out the intercept in "strict accordance accordance with the international rules for the use of airspace".

"Violations of the state border of the Russian Federation, as well as dangerous approaches of aircraft in the air were not allowed," Russian officials said.

Sukhoi Su-35s - dubbed by NATO with the callsign "Flanker" - make up the backbone of the Russian air force.

The jets are capable of speeds of up to 1,500mph, have a range of 2,200 miles, and are equipped with two turbofan afterburner engines.

Bristling with guns and weapons, the fighters have an autocannon along with 12 hardpoints with ordinance - capable of carrying up to 8,000kg of bombs and missiles.

Righteousness2:
Wars and Rumors of Wars all over the Places Just as JESUS said it will be signaling the End.
Infact It is as if the Nations go to read the HolyBible before they begin to act.

The Frequency and Intensity of the Signs of the Endtimes JESUS told us about is Fearful and Joyful.

Fearful because of how fast Events are Happening and Joyful because we are so Close to going home.

When I say "We" I don't mean Everybody! I mean all who Surrendered to JESUS, and are Watching and Praying.
The RAPTURE is Imminent!JESUS is Coming!
Get yourself in Order.

Mr Righteousness....This thing you are doing is not right. I do not know you in person but i have always respected your comments even when people criticize you on this forum, I have always supported the fact that you preach the gospel, but this idea of creating 2 monikers so you can post a troubling story by Gospelpreacher (moniker 1) so that Righteousness (moniker 2) can preach about how the world is coming to an end is wrong. I am not a pastor but I do know that the word God is not intended to create tension in the minds of people. With all due respect, Please change from your ways. Thank you.

Immediately I saw the headline, I knew the OP must be our Nairaland Pastor of Doom and Eternal Suffering, Righteousness2, HolinessForever or GospelPreacher1.

This is not the first time a war plane is being intercepted. But he has already labelled it a sign of time up there.



Very soon, he'd demand Nairalanders to pay tithe or Prophet's Honour or risk going to hell.

PS: I wonder how one person will be behind four monikers at the same time.
Reminds me of that one that has an alternate policewoman moniker, he has reported me like twelve times, but the grace of God has always come through for me

Lol.

Ok

hmm

hmm

I hv nothing against ur preachings.

As a religious leader u claimed to b u hv to lead by example, u knw it's against the rules of this forum to operate more than 1 account yet u hv like 3 accounts; holinessforever, gospelpreacher1 nd righteousness2. This shuld b against ur tenets as a born again Christian.

Ok.

Peace is all we want in the world �

A

Im sure its just a scare. Russia is weak economically and can't afford another war. Moreover Russia and China are surrounded by countries which are United States allies. United State is the police of the whole world.

Stop saying rubbish this mumu boy because you're looking for clients on nairaland. Don't be deceived folks, this guy operates 3 accounts. Nairalanders watch out henceforth. He bombs with either Holinessforever or Gospelpreacher1 on any international war related news or natural disasters, and hustle for prospective clients with Righteousness1.

But, I thought he sworn last year before US election that if Trump ( his lord and saviour) fails to win, he would stop being a Christian. I don't know why he's still giving this kind of comment. Is he still a Christian?
