You're a bit of a researcher....a very drunk, huge man told me that the Russians (2 bombers) were chased from off the Atlantic coast by 2 RAF fighters on Friday...seemingly it was reported and then withdrawn from circulation. If I put it up, no-one will believe it, so maybe you could do a bit of looking?
2 things that make me think he was telling the truth: 1...he was from Scotland and did 6 yrs with The Royal Highland Fusiliers. 2....like all intelligent men he's fond of drink and horses.
I mentioned the abandoned Russian boat off the coast of Eire that was found recently....his eyes lit up...."they are using Ireland as the base for this infection, Italy is a smokescreen". The Russians denied it was their boat.....and maybe wanted to throw a few shapes towards the Brits.
The biggest issue with this is: Bombers have fuck all mileage range...so where is their carrier located?
