Two US Air Force B-52H Stratofortress aircraft assigned to the 2nd Bomb Wing, Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana, arrived at Mihail Kogalniceanu Airbase, Romania, for Bomber Task Force Europe 24-4, according to a US European Command statement on 21 July. While flying in international airspace and in accordance with international law, the U.S. B-52 aircraft were intercepted by two Russian aircraft over the Barents Sea, but the US aircraft did not change course due to the intercept and continued along their scheduled flight plan without incident before landing in Romania, the statement added. The B-52H Stratofortress is a long-range, heavy bomber that can carry nuclear or precision guided conventional ordnance with worldwide precision delivery, and can perform strategic attack, close-air support, air interdiction, offensive counter-air and maritime operations.
