["Russian Knights" Flight Demonstration Team Escorts Bombers]
American magazine "Military Observer" reported that the Royal Norwegian Air Force dispatched two F-35A fifth-generation fighter jets to intercept two Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers flying in international airspace over the Barents Sea, as well as the Su-35 fighter jets escorting them. The F-35 aircraft accurately identified the targets and continuously tracked and monitored them.
The Russian aircraft did not enter Norwegian airspace. The special aspect of this encounter was that the Su-35 fighter jets escorting the bombers were from the "Russian Knights" flight demonstration team. This team usually performs aerobatic flights at air shows and parades and does not participate in frontline combat missions. The "Knights" fully utilized the unique flight performance of the Su-35, including its outstanding maneuverability achieved through three-dimensional thrust vector technology.
