Russian military planes flying near UK airspace caused “disruption to civil aviation” on Wednesday, the Foreign Office has said.
It said the Russian aircraft did not enter UK airspace, but the manoeuvres were “part of increasing pattern of out-of-area operations” by Russia.
The planes were “escorted” by RAF jets “throughout the time they were in the UK area of interest”, officials added.
Russia’s ambassador has been summoned to “account for the incident”.
Yes, keep flirting with these animals while they joyfully pee on your heads.
The british government’s approach to every foreign power is to keep sucking dick until a trade agreement spurts out. Nothing else matters.

The British government will whore itself out with passion and dedication. Useless fools.

From the British point of view it’s all a bit perplexing and quite amusing. It’s clearly intended as a threat but flying this rickety old museum piece along our south coast really isn’t all that threatening especially coming from a state which is on the verge of economic collapse and tends to collapse economically about once a decade. We’ll just talk to our friends the Saudis and say, “Could you possibly drive the oil price a bit lower?” And the Saudi’s will say, “Of course. Oh by the way thank you for your kind donation to my charity” and then the VVS won’t be able to afford to bother us with their rickety old aircraft.

I’m hearing the entire flight schedule in the UK was put on hold. So I guess now us a very good time to make that request to the Saudis. 🙂

I suppose in Russia they regard such things as a big deal.

The way the ruble is going I’m surprised their upper lips aren’t dangling around their ankles.

Yes, and by next year, the resident population of Bristol, Avon, Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, and Wiltshire will have green laser pointers so they can give the Russian military a dance club experience in their cockpits. 🙂
Maybe they should just buy tickets to Glastonbury instead.
