Here’s a cool video of the Russian warplanes met by the Norwegian F-16s over the Baltic Sea

Totally stole this, but its cool.  The Su-34 link in the bottom is good too.  I wish someone would translate it for me :)

Here’s an interesting compilation of “zombies” intercepted by RNoAF (Royal Norwegian Air Force) F-16s in BAP (Baltic Air Patrol) duty.

Since May 1, the RNoAF has taken over the leading role of the NATO’s BAP (Baltic Air Patrol) mission.
Four F-16s and about 70 pilots and support personnel deployed to Siauliai Airbase, in Lithuania, where they joined theItalian Air Force Eurofighter Typhoon jets (deployed there since the beginning of the year), to protect the airspaces of the Baltic States Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, that don’t have their own air defense capabilities.
The following video was just released by the RNoAF.
It contains clips filmed by the F-16’s targeting pod, showing some of the Russian warplanes intercepted on routine A-Scramble (Alert Scramble) launched from Siauliai, including a pretty rare A-50 Mainstay, an Airborne early warning and control (AEW) aircraft based on the Ilyushin Il-76 transport; an Il-20 Coot spyplane and a Su-24 Fencer attack plane.
