American surveillance aircraft active the Barents Sea. I would have thought such flights within the context of NATO mission would be without controversy. I guess not.

 "U.S aircraft flew Norwegian airspace on surveillance mission outside Russia's nuclear sub bases"

"Norway’s reassurance policy towards Russia has for the most followed a practice that allied intelligence missions to airspace outside the Kola Peninsula should not take off, land, or fly over Norwegian airspace. On Wednesday, a U.S. Air Force plane was indeed inside Norwegian airspace, both before and after the flight aimed to monitor Russia's military forces from above the eastern Barents Sea."

WE MUST REASSURE THE RUSSIAN.

From thebarentasobsaerver.com the article By Thomas Nilsen November 02, 2022.

"After joint training with a pair of Norwegian F-35 fighter jets over Troms region inside the Arctic Circle on Wednesday, the American RC-135W aircraft continued to international airspace over the Barents Sea and flew a well-known surveillance route just north of Russia’s Kola Peninsula."

Follow the sequence of events as described: 1. American surveillance aircraft in joint training mission with Norwegian F-35 fighter planes. 2. American aircraft continues flight over the Barents Sea, all the time in international airspace. 3. American aircraft returns to home base in England, flying over Norwegian airspace in "violation" of announced policy.

THE RUSSIAN WILL TAKE NOTICE AND NOT BE HAPPY?
