Russian strategic bombers conduct 16-hour flight over Barents and Norwegian seas

23.06.2026 ნახვები: 102

Tu-160 strategic nuclear-capable bombers of Russia’s Aerospace Forces conducted a 16-hour test flight in a neutral zone over the Barents and Norwegian Seas.

According to Ukrinform, Reuters reported this, citing a statement from the Russian Defense Ministry.

It is noted that during the flight, the Russian nuclear-capable aircraft practiced in-flight refueling.

The flight, which the Russian ministry described as routine, was escorted by Russian MiG-31 fighters, as well as fighters from other countries along certain sections of the route.

However, the report published Tuesday morning did not specify which countries provided escort for the Russian missile-carrying aircraft. 

It should be noted that in the north, Russia borders NATO members such as Norway and Finland.

As reported by Ukrinform, in April, Swedish Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) fighter jets intercepted two Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bombers over the Baltic Sea.
