If you guys take a look at the second pic i posted then it aparently is a very rare photo of two bears tanking in the air at the same time on one photo.

awwww... wish i was a newspaper or something, then i could get access to the free photo archive of the norwegian military.

if any of you work in a paper then go and register and you should get tons of free photos that have been taken over the years. maybe even these are there in high-res.

Nonono, we fought for the fishing right and even gunned holes in the British trawlers.

News update, - Russian aircraft have been spotted around the country. What's going on?

Notice the tanker carries the Russian flag whilst the Bear still carries the old Soviet star.

Interesting.

Guess they're out of paint.
They still have money for the fuel though....

Are the roosians feeling upstaged by NK and Iran?

I'm sure we can send a MinuteMen missile if the occasion calls for it:D

I wonder if they're testing the north. The GIUK gate. But then...why?
The only change that has occured is that the US has left Iceland, and that leaves a gap in the N-Atlantic "gate". But why?

A) Regelar training.
B) Showing others that they still have the capability.
C) Checking what the response would be if they did it.
D) Testing the planes before selling them to China.

Or a number of other reasons.
