Russian live missile fire air exercise near US

Russian live missile fire air exercise near US

www.debka.com

Not since 1984, just before the fall of the Soviet Union, has Russia ventured to launch dozens of nuclear bombers for an exercise in which Tu-95 Bear bombers will fire live cruise missiles. Exercise Stability 2008 will take place Oct.-6-12 over sub-Arctic Russia uncomfortably close to the US state of Alaska, and Belarus.

DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the exercise is part of a month-long war game described by Russian air force spokesman Col. Vladimir Drik as “practicing the strategic deployment of the armed forces including the nuclear triad.”

The article also goes on to say that "Russian leaders are willing to brandish their nuclear strength in America’s face" That's scary stuff! I know that Russia probably wouldn't bomb Alaska, but if they are going to be taking off from close by, they could potentially fly deeper into the US. Does this not worry anyone else?

Nope. We do have Elmendorf AFB up there to keep an eye on them.

Yeah but the article goes on to talk about the Russians carrying nukes.

Debka is one of the worst sites for getting "real" military news. They kind of make it up as they go along. I wouldn't trust much from them without at least two completely separate sources saying the same thing.

Its Debka. Enuff said!! This is nothing.......
