Russian strategic bombers tu-160 flew over the North Pole.

The day before, the information portal Avia.pro obtained information that a pair of Russian strategic bombers Tu-160, flying from the Saratov region to Chukotka, flew over the North Pole, completing a "combat mission" in passing. In fact, the flight of Russian bombers became a reminder to the United States of a short way to deliver nuclear missiles to the US borders.

Despite the fact that the distance from Russia to the United States is considered quite large, Russian strategic aviation is not the first time that Washington has shown that the transfer of nuclear weapons to the US borders can take only a few hours, which is explained by the possibility of a flight through the North Pole of the planet .

The Russian strategic missile-carrying bombers have been assigned to the "task of combat", while it remains unknown, but experts estimate that it may well be about the readiness to transfer strategic aviation assets to US borders, which is especially important against the backdrop of the ongoing Vostok-2018 exercises , which became one of the largest in the last 40 years.
