American B-52 Stratofortress bombers flew above all 30 NATO countries Friday in an exercise the U.S. military said was to demonstrate the alliance's solidarity, amid growing signs of cracks.

Four of the long-range jet bombers based in Britain were flying over European members of NATO, integrating along the way with several partner nations' fighters and refueling aircraft.

Two other Stratofortresses based in North Dakota were flying over Canada and the United States.

The single-day mission is part of regular flight missions that have been taking place in Europe since 2018, but is meant specifically to “demonstrate NATO solidarity, enhance readiness and provide training opportunities” by involving the airspace of every member nation, the U.S. European Command said.

I want to see more on The Philippine islands and China. Those communist jerks..
I’ve never been to a country where the people are more accommodating and friendly than the Filipinos. Breaks my heart.

What about the Russians planes flanking 1 of the B52s & flying within feet of it?

'to Show NATO Solidarity' just like if we where to fly bombers over the US in the same way, there would be no problems doing so right?

Misleading title.. Thats a Russian jet and that's an illegal declaration of war.. Also love that they cut the end off when it dangerously flanked the B-52.

I'm from the Netherlands and can tell you that showing of is not going to work. cooperation and communication instead of bullying does. We are not part of Trumps dictatorship

Why was it out there on it's own? And why does this keep happening to the great US air force? How sad is it that the US has become so weak that they don't challenge other countries anymore.

US military, could you just please stay behind your own borders? Many europeans do dislike the fact knowing that your airplanes are patrouilling "test flying" within the EU borders. We really dont need this. It only causes more problems.
