For the first time in history, a pair of U.S. Air Force B-52H Stratofortress bombers flew over Finland on July 21, 2024. The bombers were escorted by Finnish F/A-18s as a show of force against Russia. The flights were part of training activities and were supported by two U.S. KC-135 and one U.S. KC-46 aerial refueling aircraft. The Russian Ministry of Defense claimed to have intercepted the bombers over the Barents Sea, indicating they flew over Finnmark County, northernmost Norway.
