E-mailJune 23 (Reuters) - Russian strategic Tu-160 missile-carrying bombers conducted a 16-hour flight including an air-to-air refueling test in the neutral zone over the Barents Sea and the Norwegian Sea, the defense ministry said on Telegram.
The flight, which the ministry said was a routine one, was accompanied by Russian MiG-31 fighter jets and was escorted by foreign fighter jets at certain points, the post, issued in the early hours of Tuesday, said, without specifying the countries involved.
In the north, Russia borders NATO members Norway and Finland.
