WATCH Russian fighters force US B-52 bombers change course

Published 2019-03-21 22:20:42 by News Desk in World-News

US and NATO planes have been regularly conducting flights close to Russia’s borders since 2014 sometimes forcing Russian jets to scramble and escort them during the flight in order to prevent airspace violations. According to the Russian Ministry of Defence, a group of B-52 Stratofortress bombers approached Russia’s border in the skies over the Baltic Sea but then changed course when the Russian jets came closer. A video of the incident was released by the Russian military on Thursday. The video comes out just a day after the US Air Force command in Europe confirmed the incident, stressing that the flights serve as a demonstration of Washington’s commitment to regional security.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:45 P.M.) – U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted two maps on Wednesday that showed the territory the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) held in both 2017 and 2019. https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1108479818000224256 As shown in the two maps above, the Islamic State has been nearly wiped off the map in both Syria and Iraq; however, there are some errors that are evident. For one, the Islamic State’s largest “residual presence” is barely highlighted on these maps. The Islamic State has a major presence inside the Badiya Al-Sham region, which is a desert area located between the Deir Ezzor and Homs governorates of Syria…. Read on ->
