Bombers over London

Not since the Battle of Britain has the UK sounded its air raid warnings. But they recently did. (Although I suspect they dont use them crank-up sirens anymore.)

Yesterday the British press was full of reports about new threats from Russia. The headlines of all the major papers were devoted to two topics: the appearance of Russian TU-95MC strategic bombers close to the airspace of the United Kingdom, and the revelation of an assassination attempt against Boris Berezovsky. The press reported that on Tuesday, two RAF Tornado fighter jets were scrambled to intercept Russian bombers that were approaching UK airspace near Scotland.
Limeys vs. Bolsheviks. Who ya got?
