Two Tu-160’s are currently in Venezuela to participate in some sort of exercise. The interesting part of this is that there was apparently no mention of a BLACKJACK flight by the US DoD, who usually releases a statement when Russian strategic bombers are intercepted and/or shadowed. Does this mean that they didn’t want to bring attention to the fact that they’re down exercising with the dummy in Caracas, or that the DoD didn’t know that BLACKJACKs were flying down the Atlantic?
