U.S. B-52 Bombers Fly Over Finland for First Time on July 21, 2024 in Show of Force
Jul 21, 2024, 09:45 AM
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. The Finnish Defense Minister confirmed the presence of B-52s over Finland, marking a significant event in military cooperation between the U.S. and Finland.
