US message to Moscow ! US bombers deployed to Arctic skies from Norway base
"
The US has deployed long range bombers to Norway for the first time. Four B1 bombers will be operating out of Orland Air Base over the next few weeks.
It's being seen as a message to Moscow that the US is ready to defend its allies in the strategically contested Arctic region, which is rich in oil and gas. Under international law the North Pole and the ocean surrounding it are not owned by any country.
BBC Defence Correspondent Jonathan Beale reports from on board a US refuelling plane.
"
as we all know Chinggisids are the cowards, they attack only much weaker and smaller opponents and only when they 100% are sure that it will be no real fight. question, how far Moscow is ready to go in the North ? is it ready to annex Norway´s SVALBARD island?
