Yes 24 hrs here as well. No escaping it at present a bit more lower level activity going on. I'm thinking they're using the Humber Bridge as a target for their bombing practice runs.
Anyway, loose lips and all that. Vladimir will be monitoring all this free info so I'll knock it in the head for now and crack on with my nuclear bomb fallout shelter I'm building under the stairs :celebrate:

First batch of additional US troops to Europe

WASHINGTON—President Biden is directing the Pentagon to deploy more than 3,000 American troops to bolster the defense of European allies in the first major movement of U.S. forces in Russia’s military standoff with Ukraine, U.S. officials said. Mr. Biden is sending roughly 2,000 troops from Fort Bragg, N.C., to Poland and Germany this week and also repositioning about 1,000 troops that are part of a Germany-based infantry Stryker squadron to Romania, on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s eastern flank closest to Russia, the officials said. In addition, the Pentagon expects to make other moves of forces inside Europe, and has ordered several thousand more troops to be on standby to deploy, beyond the 8,500 troops given similar orders last week, the officials said.

Just hearing on radio of numerous scrambles by the RAF to escort Russian aircraft away from UK airspace.

Not sure if thats sarcasm or not. But it is a regular event for RAF jets being scrambled for Russian incursions. Its a constant game of cat and mouse.

No sarcasm intended. You and I would seem to have a grasp on such matters hence my short response.
I was highlighting that these daily occurrences are being given media prominence all of a sudden.

But Kier Starmer once got a B- in his Geography prep in 2nd form. It's totally the same and what about something....something....shoes. And some of Labour once watched Jim'll Fix It.... Don't even start me on Tony Blair.... You guys are scraping the bottom of the barrel if you think that humiliating Britain in front of the Russians is a bad thing....

Russian planes do not make incursions into U.K. airspace. They tend to observe the rules. They may fly around quite a lot but it’s a very rare occurrence, if ever, that they cross the line……
