Two nuclear-capable B-52 Stratofortresses fly over Russian border
Two US nuclear-capable B-52 Stratofortress bombers flew over the Russian border to deter future Russian threats. The West sent a number of military aircraft, including B-52H bombers that traveled a variety of routes that would allow it to launch missiles at Russian cities. The US sent four B-52 Stratofortress bombers to Europe in late February, which are capable of carrying nuclear-capable missiles. The bomber went into combat duty at the Spanish Air Base Morón.
