Russerne holder øye med Joint Viking 2025 - The Barents Observer

F-35`en har såkalt "dirty" config. Det betyr at med det den har under buken fører til at flyet ikke lenger er "stealthy". Om det er våpenrommet som er åpent eller om det er noe tilsvarende LANTIRN vet jeg ikke. Det anbefales å lese hele ertikkelen. (Red.)

The two Tu-142 anti-submarine, maritime patrol planes came 

from the Russian Northern Fleet's Kipelovo airbase in Vologda 

region and flew out over international airspace of the Barents 

Sea and Norwegian Sea in the morning of March 10. 

Outside Troms region, the Russian aircraft were shadowed by 

a pair of Norwegian F-35 fighter jets, operating inside the 

Arctic Circle on identification mission of NATO. Such

missions are known as quick reaction alert (QRA).

Appearance of Russian planes is routine when there are 

multinational forces on exercise in the north, the Norwegian 

Armed Forces states. 

Joint Viking 2025 involves nine NATO member states with 

more than 10,000 soldiers.
