Controversial Russian bombers carry out drills over the Caribbean
Days after their arrival in Venezuela triggered a verbal duel between Washington and Moscow, two Russian strategic bombers carried out drills over the Caribbean Sea, Russia's defense ministry said Dec 12, 2018.
The two Tu-160 nuclear-capable bombers in Venezuela "conducted a flight in the airspace over the Caribbean Sea. The flight lasted for about 10 hours," the ministry's press service said, according to state-media outlet Tass.
"In certain parts of the route, the flight of Russian bombers was conducted together with Su-30 and F-16 fighter jets of the Venezuelan National Bolivarian Military Aviation. The pilots from the two countries practiced air cooperation when fulfilling air tasks," it added.
