Russian Bombers Flew Undetected Across Arctic Russian military planes flew undetected through
the U.S. zone of the Arctic Ocean to Canada during recent military exercises,
a senior Air Force commander said Saturday. The commander of the country's
long-range strategic bombers, Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov, said
the U.S. Air Force is now investigating why its military was unable
to detect the Russian bombers. Khorov said that during the military exercises in April, Tu-160 Blackjack bombers and Tu-95 Bears had successfully carried out four missile launches. Bombing exercises were held using Tu-22 Blinders. By the end of the year, two more Tu-160s will be commissioned for the long-range strategic bomber fleet, Khorov said. Both new planes will incorporate numerous upgrades from the initial Soviet models, the commander said. The bombers will be able to launch both cruise missiles and aviation bombs, and communicate via satellite. ---------------------------------------------------
