…Intercept Russian Bombers Near Ireland
"If Russian bombers fly near Ireland, they may be intercepted by fighter jets — but not Irish ones.
Under a secret agreement between the UK and the Republic of Ireland that dates back more than 70 years, Britain will defend Irish airspace from intrusions by Russian aircraft and other aerial threats. The deal has been amended by Irish leaders over the years, but it has also been kept secret due to Irish memories of British rule and tensions over Northern Ireland, which remained a part of the UK after Ireland was partitioned in 1921…."

"You'd have to take a fairly circuitous route from Russia to Eire.
To avoid Scotland and England" There are, or were, a lot of strategic bomber bases around Murmansk Oblast. Overflight of Nordkapp into the Arctic Ocean and thru the GIUK gap would get you there. The Kh55 has a standoff range of 1000NM, and a TU95 bomber an operational range of 8000NM. That's more than enough. |
