US Air Force conducts bomber flight near Russian border in Estonia

On February 24, the U.S. Air Force flew a B-52H Stratofortress bomber and F-35A jets over Estonia, close to the Russian border. This flight comes amid increased NATO air patrols in the Baltic region, which Russia has criticized. The U.S. deployment of bombers to Romania, near Ukraine, marks a significant military presence in Eastern Europe. This follows recent Russian aircraft activity near Alaska, indicating rising tensions between the U.S. and Russia. NATO's Joint Expeditionary Force supported the flights, which coincide with ongoing concerns about Russian tankers damaging undersea telecom cables. The situation reflects ongoing military posturing from both sides.
