Russian Tu-142 Probes HMS Prince of Wales, F-35Bs Scrambled in Norwegian Sea
⚓ NORWEGIAN SEA — Russia hunted the carrier Britain can't afford to lose. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Tu-142 ASW buoys don't harass — they catalogue. Russia just mapped Prince of Wales's acoustic signature and escort posture, data that outlasts the exercise. Britain's only deployable carrier having its vulnerability profile updated mid-NATO drill is the real payload. Poland at max alert, Kyiv burning — Moscow signals it reads the fleet, not just the frontier.
