WW3 Update: Japan, UK Scramble Fighter Jets (Video)

These two stories prove that not only is the cold war back in fashion but it is very much in action.  The first one comes out of the English Channel via End Time Headlines –  

“British fighter jets were scrambled on Wednesday in response to the sighting of two Russian military aircraft near UK airspace, hours after three Russian ships were monitored as they entered the English Channel. “Quick Reaction Alert Typhoon fighter aircraft were launched today after Russian aircraft were identified flying close to UK airspace,” said a Ministry of Defence (MoD) spokesman.”

The second comes out of the Pacific where Japan is getting the same treatment from China also via End Time Headlines -

“Japan’s air force said on Wednesday said jet fighter scrambles have reached a level not seen since the height of the Cold War three decades ago as Russian bombers probe its northern skies and Chinese combat aircraft intrude into its southern air space. In the year ending March 31, Japanese fighters scrambled 944 times, 16 percent more than the same period the previous year, the country’s Self Defence Force said. That is the second highest number of encounters ever recorded over the 12-month period since records began in 1958 and only one less than a record 944 scrambles in 1984.“

THAT is alarming news to say the least.  They must really really want it to be 1984 around here real bad.  How ironic that it’s that date of all dates?
