DEBKAfile was founded by a team of journalists in June 2000 as an independent Internet Web site, providing an intelligence and security news service. June 7, 2017, 8:40 AM (IDT)
A Russian Sukhoi-27 warplane intercepted a US B-52 bomber in international airspace over the Baltic Sea on Tuesday. The Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement that the fighter “stayed at a safe distance” and escorted the bomber “for some time” before disengaging. A Pentagon spokeswoman said the B-52 was flying a routine mission supporting planned exercises in international airspace.
Our unique angle on these subjects – and strong intelligence dimension – has earned DEBKAfile a global reputation and a steady readership – which skyrockets in times of crisis.
