Brendan Cole – NEWSWEEK Sept 9, 2024
NATO Eurofighter jets have flown to Finland’s Russian border for the first time since the Nordic country joined the alliance, it has been reported.
During a military exercise, three of the aircraft from Germany’s 71st Tactical Squadron landed and took off from the road near the village of Hosio, about 120 miles from Finland’s border with Russia, Bild reported, citing Germany’s air force.
“After refueling, they took off again and returned to Rovaniemi Air Base,” an air force spokesperson told the outlet, referring to the headquarters of Lapland Air Command. Given the proximity to the frontier, Bild journalist Julian Röpke said that it was possible that Russian radars were closely monitoring the exercises.
Also on September 4, two U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning II aircraft assigned to the 48th Fighter Wing, Royal Air Force Lakenheath, U.K., also landed on a Finnish highway near Hosio during exercise BAANA 2024, The Aviationist reported. The Finnish air force posted video on X, formerly Twitter, showing a stationary aircraft on the road.
The English-language website BulgarianMilitary.com highlighted how landing on a highway was “a new capability” which now put these European fighters “in the same league as the F-35, Gripen, and F/A-18” aircraft.
The publication said that a Eurofighter first landed on a Finnish road on September 4 in Baana and described how it gave a substantial tactical advantage, particularly given that airbases are primary targets during hostilities.
It also meant that aircraft can be placed across many locations over wide areas which would make them more challenging to detect and destroy and adding to chances of air superiority even if main airbases are compromised.
Newsweek has contacted the German Air Force, the Finnish foreign ministry and NATO for comment.
After decades of non-alignment with NATO, Finland angered Moscow when it joined the alliance in 2023 prompted by the regional security concerns posed by Vladimir Putin‘s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
Helsinki has accused Moscow of deliberately stoking a migrant crisis by sending asylum seekers to the frontier from countries in Africa and the Middle East in a “hybrid warfare” tactic. Russia has denied the claims.

No is forcing you to read my comments.
It’s Nazi Newsweek, but let’s read between the lines.
As I’ve been saying, the RAF Nazis have changed the way they train, and even local sheeple in Snowdonia, with no provocation from me, say it’s unusual. They’ve also been screeching around the skies at night.
As I’ve suggested. I believe the British Nazis, and it appears, others, are preparing some sort of strike deep inside Russia.
It doesn’t take a genius to see how well positioned Finland is, in relation to St Pertersburg, and Moscow.
While Russian defences are good, there’s always going to be weak points. It is possible that stealth drones have been flying into Russia, to probe the radar systems, and maybe they’ve found a way through.
Such a daring ultra low level attack would be using nukes. After all, the Nazis aren’t interested in Russia cities, all they want are Russian resources.
Dare I say it, is it possible to decapitate the bear?
My analysis, is just that, I thunk it, and it’s free.
I don’t doubt the Eurofighter is a good aircraft. Nor do I doubt the Russians will prove theirs are better.
ZWOG gradually setting the stage to wipe out more whites in an expanded coordinated war.
Here in Snowdonia, at 10pm, I can hear the Nazi RAF training.
I am not saying the Nazis will try and pull off a daring low level raid on Russia, Moscow, and St Petersburg, but it’s clearly an option, and many Nazi regimes are involved.
a lot of commie geezer gasbags polluting this site
finns,baltics, poles are all NAZIS !
deserve a beating !
