Without getting too much into it - there are tactics employed by both the USAF and RAF that counter the Russian AA defence network using current equipment.

Do the USAF shoot down the RAF? , that might work.

They won't do a single thing against these Russia systems, as they can't.

Most of them seem to not like Putin but at the same time they think it did better than his predecessors.

Discounting the mini-me Medvedev episode, given his predecessor was boozy Boris Yeltsin that's not a difficult target.

Yes, yet to find a Russian saying that the Yeltsin did something good for their country in his 8 years.

Nope. We sold all the Harriers, remember.

The White House is considering launching an unprecedented cyber attack against Russia in retaliation for their alleged interference in the US election, intelligence officials say. Current and former officials have said that the CIA has been asked to deliver options for “clandestine” cyber operations designed to “embarrass” the Russian government.

Big escalation in posturing and now proppoganda in past 7 days.

Meanwhile Putin has sent his Armada to the Med to up the ante

That'll be a given. If it where to come to war all we'd need to do is destroy the tugs. In an instant their fleet wouldn't be able to leave port.

I see the Russian aircraft carrier is expected to sail close to UK waters in the next few days.

But it's OK because we can shadow it with our long range maritime patrol aircraft.

Oh, hold on...

Practice against pirates? Surely they should be off Somalia, or Tortuga.

Was reported in July (updated report in October) that it was for air operations in Syria by none other than RT themselves - https://www.rt.com/news/349279-russia-aircraft-car...

Then it was delayed because they had no pilots trained on the aircraft they intended to use - http://nationalinterest.org/blog/the-buzz/russias-...

Yes, because normal procedure is to announce publicly in advance your clandestine operations.

IRC, they were busy trying to institute no-fly zones in a country they have no right to be in in order to protect some "moderate" jihadists they are supporting.

All nearly 3k of the 911 victims must be rolling in their graves.

Scherzkeks while it's nice to have a broad range of opinions and views on these forums, lets be real.

There is no good and bad guys. Only Russians looking out for Russia's best interests and the US doing likewise.

They both spy on eachother, they both interfere in elections, they both seed dissent, they both have strategic interests outside their own borders and they both have definitely done and will continue to do unsavory things because they think it will benefit them.

Isn't the Kuznetsov + fleet trundling through the north sea making a nuisance of themselves? High risk given the russian navy's propensity for breaking down at sea; it would be amusing if my ship ends up towing a knackered red frigate out of a rig's exclusion area.
