Polish Vice Prime Minister Mariusz Błaszczak announced this.
“Polish fighter jets again escorted the American B-52 bomber. This is an important part of the interaction exercises. Together, we care about the security of NATO's eastern flank,” the Deputy Prime Minister said in a statement.
Thus, the course of the aircraft could be tracked on the Flightradar portal, which transmits the routes of aircraft around the world in real time. The bomber was seen to have flown over the Baltic countries, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, which border Russia.
In December 2022, the United States unveiled the latest B-21 stealth nuclear bomber, which will gradually replace the B-1 and B-2 aircraft that have been in service since the Cold War.
