Two F/A-18 fighter jets scrambled to escort the Russian TU-95 bombers away from the warship on Sunday, US defence officials said. Putin’s nuclear-capable “Bears” were stopped just 80 miles away from the vessel, the USS Ronald Reagan, in the Sea of Japan.

Russian bombers heading for US warship INTERCEPTED by fighter jets near North Korea
VLADIMIR Putin ordered two nuclear bombers to fly towards a US aircraft carrier stationed near North Korea in a brazen display of his air power.
Two F/A-18 fighter jets scrambled to escort the Russian TU-95 bombers away from the warship on Sunday, US defence officials said.
Putin’s nuclear-capable “Bears” were stopped just 80 miles away from the vessel, the USS Ronald Reagan, in the Sea of Japan.
US President Donald Trump has sent three aircraft carriers – the USS Ronald Reagan, USS Theodore Roosevelt and USS Nimitz – ahead of his visit to the region later this week.
The interception of the Russian bombers was considered to be “safe and professional” by US officials.
But the incident comes at a time of heightened tensions in the Pacific with the US, China, Russia and North Korea looking to assert themselves.
Russian bombers carried out the mission just days after the US flew a nuclear B-2 bomber over the Pacific Ocean.
The provocative flight – just off North Korea – was an apparent show of force likely designed to intimidate Kim Jong-un.
The US has admitted that North Korea is on the brink of launching the dreaded “Juche Bird” missile – a nuke fixed to an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM).
But the flight is likely to draw the attention of Russia and China, whose militaries are active in the region.
US interceptions of Russian aircraft – and vice versa – in the western Pacific and elsewhere are commonplace.
Typically, these flight interceptions happen without incident, but occasionally tense encounters cause friction between Russia and the US.
In June a US bomber flying over the Baltic Sea was intercepted by Russian fighter jets.
The manoeuvre was branded “unsafe” by US officials, who accused the Russian jet of flying “erratically” and too close to the US plane.
Tu-95s – dubbed by NATO as “Bears” – are four engined propellor aircraft designed for long-range strategic bombing runs.
The planes can carry up to 16.5 tons worth of bombs and has been is service since the height of the Cold War.
They can fly at 575mph at heights of up to 45,000ft – being crewed by seven men – and have nuclear bombs in their arsenal. Daily Star

lets just shoot em down see what happens–the carl vinsion aircraft carrier is headed to korea now too
Russia has more rights to bomb you when your steaming flat out directly towards Russia. No American ever thinks ahead.
Russia can easily take out the entire fleet if they chose to. Thier weaponry leaves yours for dead. Russia are a decade ahead. While America spends twenty times the amount and has nothing to show for it. Other than plenty of DUMBS.
^today he is a military expert with great knowledge of foreign military capabilities. lets see some youtube links you i-scholar. we bow to your demented supremacy
It’s common knowledge. You don’t need to be an expert to see the truth. Today you just talk crap as usual. You give a bad name to the good anom.
If you really want to know what we’re worried about, Anonymous, you might want to research the USS Donald Duck. No kidding, type that into your favourite search engine and you’ll be taken straight to the incident i mean. Then add in the recent spate of war ship collisions by civilian vessels which conveniently provides plausible deniability.
Put plainly Russia just might have a jammer and if they can fit it to their nuclear warheads AEGIS would be mightily screwed not to mention America and her Allies.
Putin the PUNK harassing the West. Smiling at mama. Where’s daddy?
probably routine naval exercises?
Just as if the NEOCONS are allowed to pick off one after another? You really think Putin nor China will allow that? I will not allow that either but I am nobody.
USS Ronald Reagan is contaminated with radiation, a scrap ship.
A false flag expected.
The 6th has that feeling.
What a nonstory! The Bear can be a nuclear-capable bomber, but it can also be a surveillance aircraft. We do it to them, they do it to us. Nothing burger is what this story is about.
Definitely. Especially when America are speeding straight towards Russia and think they’re going to park off Russia’s coast the same they did with Afghanistan Iraq and most recently Syria. America is using the same standard tired old tactics that they’ve stuck to for twenty years now. And with all the greatest firepower this planet has to offer America has still never won a single War in history. Ever!
Don’t worry. The Anzac’s will save you….. Again. Lol. Still Luv y’all’s but you need to purge the dumbasses out of there and half of them were born there!
Common everyone, they are all in bed together.
I read the Russia spends about 48 billion on defense and offense weapons. The US spends 15 times or more and I am sure most is wasted.
Russia is not our enemy. They both need a credible enemy to keep the budgets funded.
Russia and America are working together now is my guess.
Why would any Anglo American want to fight other white people to save the third world?
Everything else is for show like the canceled shuttle program that is obsolete. They are likely are so advanced with the trillions of fiat money that there is no threat anymore from anyone on earth.
NK is a show for public consumption and fear to get more money. The only way they can do anything is a false flag to keep the system going.
If they had wanted to destroy that aircraft carrier, they could have done so from hundreds of miles away with a nuclear tipped cruise missile (which those type of bombers can carry). This was just a warning about who’s back yard you are playing in. And while those planes may be old, the cruise missiles they carry are far more advanced than anything we have. They are a couple generations ahead of our old designs. Our Navy would have no chance against them. Those ships are sitting ducks.
These air space violations with intercepts and escorts are nothing new, especially with Russia. My personal experience with these games goes back to my time in Korea in 1989/90. It was merely a game that both of us played just to see how far one could get before being escorted back. Nothing new, maybe a tad more often with the bombers. It is just receiving more press coverage now.
