Russian bombers flew undetected across Arctic

Russian military planes flew undetected through the U.S. zone of the Arctic Ocean to Canada during recent military exercises, a senior Air Force commander said Saturday.

The commander of the country’s long-range strategic bombers, Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov, said the U.S. Air Force is now investigating why its military was unable to detect the Russian bombers.

“They were unable to detect the planes either with radars or visually,” he said.

Putin knows our defenses are down

4. Yes! It keeps the thought police and programmers at bay~!
Apparently it also works against radar detection.

Note to self- buy some Reynolds Wrap stock.
The way things are going, sales should skyrocket.

5. What? Was Santa asleep and forgot to report?
This is what we are paying for? We're over in Iraq for God knows what reason,

and here come the bombers up our ass. Our defense budget equals the entire rest

of the world combined. I say put Halliburton in the Arctic to watch! Give them

something real to do.:wtf:

8. I think I'd prefer Russian overlords to Chinese ones,
if I got to choose. I'm holding out hope for maybe some nice Venezuelan ones, though.

9. We couldn't detect them but we're certain they were there!
Who can refute such Socratic logic?
