The Kremlin issued a warning about the potential for a “nuclear apocalypse” following a display of power by Russian strategic bombers over the northern seas of Britain. The Tu-95MS aircraft conducted a mission over the Barents and Norwegian Seas, lasting over seven hours. NATO fighters were scrambled to intercept and monitor the massive warplanes, known as “Bears,” as confirmed by the Russian defense ministry. Sukhoi Su-30SM fighters accompanied the bombers, conducting aerial refueling during the flight. The Norwegian Sea, situated north of Shetland between Norway and Iceland, served as the location for the “routine patrol.” This demonstration coincided with a statement from Dmitry Medvedev, a close associate of Vladimir Putin, who highlighted the looming threat of a global “nuclear apocalypse.” Addressing Russian schoolchildren, the Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council emphasized the existential nature of the current conflict with the Western world, expressing grim certainty about the future.
