Stratofortress bombers from UK buzz Russia in show of force as NATO chief warns Europe to brace for TOTAL WAR with Putin

In a strong display of force to Moscow, two US Stratofortress bombers flew close to Russian airspace.

As tensions rise, states are building up their military and civilian defenses, prompting a senior NATO chief to warn that Europe must be ready for a full-scale conflict with Putin.

North Korea has sent hundreds of troops to back Mad Vlad in recent weeks, and besieged Kyiv fired its first long-range missile into Russia on Tuesday.

With Germany as the most recent nation to increase preventative measures, there are now concerns that conflict will transcend national boundaries.

Two US Air Force B-52 bombers, code-named PHARO FLIGHT, entered northern Europe on Monday after flying northeast across the North Sea.

The plane took off from RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom, crossed the Baltic Sea, and approached Russian territory in Kaliningrad, according to radar data.

One of the aircraft entered Finnish airspace and was identified as B-52 60-0024 by Hans Kristensen of the Federation of American Scientists.

NATO’s emphasis on strategic deterrence without nuclear escalation is highlighted by the fact that both bombers are conventional-only variants.

The B-52 Stratofortress is a multipurpose long-range heavy bomber that can carry a range of armaments and has been a representation of US air power since the Cold War.

It is a key component of US and allied defense strategy due to its durability and versatility, especially in precision-strike and deterrence operations.

Moscow receives a clear message from the B-52s’ flight over northern Europe and the Baltic Sea: NATO is still able to project strength in disputed areas and is still attentive.

The alliance’s readiness to fend off any aggression is demonstrated by the decision to fly close to Kaliningrad, one of Russia’s most militarized regions.

However, the need for wartime economic resilience highlighted by preparations in Germany and Nordic Europe highlights the larger difficulties NATO faces.

Member countries are strengthening their military and civilian defenses in anticipation of a possible confrontation as tensions rise.

Additionally, Russia will probably see NATO’s increased military posture and civilian preparedness as provocative, further straining ties.

For further information, The Sun has reached out to the UK Ministry of Defence and the US Air Force.

In a speech in Brussels on Monday, a top NATO official called on companies to think like they are in a war, modifying their supply networks and production methods to lessen their susceptibility to pressure from hostile countries like China and Russia.

Dutch Admiral Rob Bauer, who chairs NATO’s military committee, stated that economic resilience is just as important as military might.

He continued by highlighting the necessity of restructuring supply lines for vital businesses to withstand possible interruptions or extortion.

In the meantime, Germany is taking concrete measures to shield its citizens from the consequences of a deteriorating global security landscape.

The 1,000-page “Operation Deutschland” secret paper contains the nation’s preparations for preparing for World War Three.

By repurposing public and private areas like basements, underground parking lots, and subway stations, the German interior ministry revealed intentions to increase the number of air raid shelters available.

Additionally, a suggested app would direct users to the closest bunker.

Germany’s response to the growing prospect of war extending beyond Ukraine’s borders is reflected in the idea, which has been termed the bunker plan.

As countries on Putin’s borders prepare for World War Three, Nordic citizens have also been given horrifying war survival guides.

While other countries give their own terrifying advise to terrified residents, millions of leaflets with the eerie title, “If Crisis or War Comes,” arrived in Swedish homes.

Stockholm has advised Swedes to get ready for war and issued a warning about what they refer to as the deteriorating security situation, which is Russia’s brutal invasion of Ukraine.

The neighboring country of Finland, meantime, has posted its own terrifying guidelines for getting ready “for incidents and crises” online.

The digital pamphlet outlines the president’s and government’s response to an armed attack in a frighteningly thorough section on military war.

Finland’s authorities are “well prepared for self defense,” according to the pamphlet.

In the case of severe weather or conflict, Norwegians were also given a leaflet that urged them to learn how to survive on their own for a week.

A warning on the water, food, and medication needed to survive three days of crisis was sent to Danish adults in the summer by the country’s emergency management agency.

After seeing the horrors Putin has inflicted in Ukraine since 2022, Sweden and Finland just renounced their neutrality to join NATO.

In contrast, Norway was a founding member of the Western defensive alliance.

Finland’s Helsinki administration chose not to print a copy for every home, while Sweden and Norway have not hesitated to use pamphlets to warn citizens of impending war.
