News agency Reuters has been forced to admit that footage it released last week purportedly showing Russian submersibles on the seabed of the North Pole actually came from the movie Titanic.
Apparently, the Russians were not even trying to dupe Reuters...they were just broadcasting a "dramatization" on Russian State TV, and Reuters mistook it for actual live footage. Maybe Elvis is alive after all.
So a Russian general says Bears overflew Guam and came face to face with U.S. interceptor pilots...here, but the U.S. says "Never happened" here:
The U.S. Pacific Fleet commander said Russian bombers never got within 300 miles (500 kilometers) of Guam this week and did not fly over the U.S. territory as a Russian air force general claimed.I hope our pilots remember the "Hawaiian good luck sign" to pass on to any Bear pilots they might see.Navy Adm. Robert F. Willard disputed that U.S. fighters intercepted the bombers. The admiral said the Russian aircraft never got close enough to the Pacific island or the massive U.S. military exercises being held nearby, to warrant such action.
"U.S. planes went to an orbit point in preparation for an intercept that never occurred because the Bears didn't get close enough," Willard said in an interview Thursday using a slang term for the Russian planes.
