Australia on High Alert as Russian Bombers Swoop Within Strike Range

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Australian troops at RAAF Base Darwin were ordered into a state of “increased readiness” when the two Russian Tu-95MS bombers carried out military drills in the region.

More than 100 Russian personnel took part in exercises alongside the bombers, nicknamed “Bears”, in neutral waters off Indonesia.

In a fight lasting around eight hours, the bombers took part in Russia’s first ever “air alert mission” in the South Pacific.

Leading Australian national security experts believe the four-engine turboprop-powered planes may have been gathering intelligence on the region.

A spokesperson told ABC that RAAF Base Darwin was in “a brief period of increased readiness” due to the military exercise.

However the spokesperson added: “There were no instances of unalerted or unscheduled foreign aircraft operating in Australian airspace during this period.”
