Cold War reheated - RAF Tornados foil Russian spy in sky 09.05.07 It could have been an episode from the dark days of the Cold War. Britain's air-defence radar system picks up a long-range Russian Bear bomber speeding towards the UK across the North Sea, apparently on a spying mission. Within minutes, at a windswept RAF base, four airmen race to their fighter jets and roar away to intercept the intruder. A tense stand-off in the sky follows before the Russians turn away. It is the type of incident which was routine two decades ago. But this took place last week. Source: thisislondon.co.uk
