Claims that Ukraine has hit a Russian long-range bomber in the Arctic is being reported in the always unreliable mainstream media. The bomber was alleged to have been based in the Kola Peninsula and is part of Russia’s strategic defense network. This has not been confirmed, but, if true, would be another serious escalation pushing the world toward a thermonuclear showdown.
This would be the first reported attack within the Arctic Circle since the beginning of the special military operation. The airfield is an hour drive south of Murmansk on the Kola Peninsula and about 200 kilometers from Russia’s border to Norway.
