Vladimir Putin deployed two Tu-95MS strategic nuclear missile carriers over Nato waters after accusing Britain of coordinating the incursion into Russia with Ukraine, it has been reported.
MiG-31 combat warplanes belonging to the Alliance escorted the Kremlin’s jets, which buzzed over the Norwegian Sea.
Separately, two Tu-22M3 long-range bombers flew over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea.
Both the Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 bombers – key parts of Russia’s nuclear arsenal – were escorted by Nato planes during their ‘scheduled’ flights.
This is the latest of the Kremlin’s reconnaissance flights as part of its ongoing attempts to taunt the bloc.
It comes after it accused the UK of involvement in Ukraine’s attack on the border region.
