[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A US Air Force jet designed to collect intelligence on enemy radar systems was spotted making circles over Russia, following rising tensions with Moscow. "spotted"
Flight tracking data showed the RC-135U 'Combat Sent' taking off from England early Tuesday, flying over the Baltic states and looping around Kaliningrad, the Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania, before returning to the UK.
So along Russia’s western border, not over. WWIII concerns seem a tad hysterical.
The American jet departed from Mildenhall, a Royal Air Force station in Suffolk, at 2:32am ET and touched down at 9:36am.
