Super Powers Flexing

While we are just starting to see Russian aircraft flying over US territory again like during the cold war, the two super powers have been confronting each other all over Syria.

Here we can see a US convoy being blocked by the Russians. This lead to a US MaxxPro vehicle attempting to overtake the Russians and instead experienced blown radiator.

NEWS: Russia deploys military fighter aircraft to Libya

"For too long, Russia has denied the full extent of its involvement in the ongoing Libyan conflict. Well, there is no denying it now." - Gen. Townsend

Russian fighter jets were recently deployed to Libya in order to support Russian state-sponsored private military contractors (PMCs) operating on the ground there. The Russian fighter aircraft arrived in Libya, from an airbase in Russia, after transiting Syria where it is assessed they were repainted to camouflage their Russian origin. “The world heard Mr. Haftar declare he was about to unleash a new air campaign. That will be Russian mercenary pilots flying Russian-supplied aircraft to bomb Libyans,” said U.S. Army Gen. Stephen Townsend, commander, U.S. Africa Command.
