Norway's New F-35 Fighter Jets Intercept Russian Military Aircraft for First Time

Norway’s new F-35 stealth fighter jets intercept two Russian Tu-142 maritime reconnaissance and anti-submarine warfare aircraft and one MiG-31 fighter jet flying in international airspace south of the so-called GIUK gap (Greenland-Iceland-UK), officials said.
According to a statement issued Saturday by Norwegian Luftforsvaret (Royal Norwegian Air Force) Russian one Tu-142MK and one Tu-142MR escorted by MiG-31 fighter jet came from the north and were first noticed by the air control station in Sorreisa, northern Norway, the Joint Head Quarters informs.

When the F-16s were first entered into the Air Force, I thought they were the most beautiful Fighters in the Force, they were, for their time. After speaking with some of the F-16 drivers I found out they were nicknamed "Rocket powered Telephone poles, lol. I guess it makes a lot of sense. Now, the F-22 and the F-35s are taking up the lead in the looks department, they do seem to form the description of form and performance. The Mig-29s are a great looking aircraft too, I won't go into that very much as of now.

It's strange how all the planes in the Russian and Chinese inventory look like reverse engineered versions of a lot of American and Euro planes?

[@valentinivanov7825]

The laws of physics,aerodynamics and stealth are the same for all countries so it's not surprising all modern jets look similar with slight variations.Further more the concept of stealth and how shape affects the RCS is actually an idea stolen from the Germans during WW2 and continued by a russian scientist so actually USA stole someone else's idea and produced the F117.

[@eldredjoyner2556]

Yes Valentin, The laws of thermodynamics etc.... don't change per say? True the Germans were very advanced, Werner Von Braun being a vivid example! I think Gen. Patton was right , we should have gone to the Bulger River and dominated the Russians totally! But it is what it is, in hindsight as always....lol.

Especially with the missiles mounted on the wing hard points. "Stealthy" lol

[@HexaSquirrel]

Sir Daylight Apart from the missiles are mounted internally. Only flies in that configuration for bombing runs or long distance flying.

[@eduruk]

I think on the opposite. F-35 must have been detectable even in clean set up so they put missiles under the wings to give an excuse for their detect-ability. Why buy a supposedly stealth plane if you are going to put missiles under the wing and not inside where they should have been at first place. Pathetic...

[@Cinkodacs]

@@eduruk Cheap way to make it detectable, so the Russians do not get a real chance to capture the radar signature. Remember, you only want real stealth when you are in a real combat scenario (wars), otherwise you are just giving intel away for free.

[@Etha-xi8ei]

I've seen this misconception alot, but the f35 and f22 will not be able to kill the russians before they notice. While the F35 and F22 do have the best stealth technology in the world and could evade russian radars, as soon as they shoot their first BVR missile all sorts of warnings will go off in the Russians's cockpit. Yes, they can evade russian sensors, but they cant kill the Russians before they realise whats happening. The f22 and f35 may be stealthy, but their missiles are anything but.

[@AnthonyBlamthony]

You obviously don’t know with the AIM-20 AMRAAM missile is. It’s not a misconception, if stinger missiles are enough to shoot down a Russian jets in Ukraine what the hell do you think the F-22 and 35 do? When it shoots at you all you know is there’s a missile coming at you at mock 5 even though you’ve jammed it, you’re essentially dead or a soon to be pilot without a plane.

The Russian sortie was launched with the mission of enticing Norwegan F35's up close for detailed electronic analysis. It was a great success according to the Russian military. The Pentagon (via NATO) initially warned Norway against getting fooled into doing this.

good idea on russian part you would have to be rather foolishly competent in your aircrafts ability to not have a counter worked up against it to ignore the advantage it would give anyone who had to try shooting it down. it's always better to assume the foe can come up with a way to kill you.
