US Deploys Three B-52 Bombers to UK for Drills

RIA Novosti, PUBLISHED 07.06.2014

Three US B-52 Stratofortress strategic bombers have landed at RAF Fairford, a Royal Air Force base in Gloucestershire, England, for training, according to a US Air Forces in Europe press-release published Wednesday.

During the two-week deployment, the bombers are to participate in various training exercises in the US European Command “providing opportunities for aircrews to sharpen skills in several key operational sets, and become familiar with airbases and operations in the region.”

The planes will also take part in celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Normandy landings in France’s Graignes on June 7.

The statement underlined that all of the bombers arrived in the UK unarmed.

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, multi-purpose strategic bomber capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

Unfortunately, we live in this age of narrow political thinking. Each of our politicians think how to survive, whether he will be the next convocation of the parliament or the government or not.
