Combat aircraft B-52H Stratofortress took off from Poland and passed along the borders of the Kaliningrad region. The purpose of the exercises is to break through air defense systems and “deliver nuclear strikes” on military and infrastructure facilities of the Russian Federation, the propagandists noted.
The US B-52H Stratofortress nuclear bomber flew 200 kilometers from St. Petersburg. About it wrote on Twitter on March 11, Polish Defense Minister Mariusz Blaszczak.
The B-52H Stratofortress was escorted by Polish fighters, the Defense Minister added.

Before the start of this mission, a patrol P-8A Poseidon of the Navy was spotted with the task of monitoring the activity of Russian air defense systems, military publics noted.
Recall that at the end of February, the United States deployed 4 B-52 Stratofortress bombers to Europe, which can carry missiles with nuclear warheads. Bombers began combat duty at the Spanish air base Moron.
Last September, two B-52H Stratofortress fighter jets flew to the Middle East to participate in missile strike exercises. The maneuvers were carried out against the backdrop of negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program.
