Great Britain's two remaining fighter aircraft bravely intercepted a Russian bomber over the English Channel.
Now down to two operational fighters, the once proud RAF scrambled its two jets to escort a Cold War era Tu-95 bomber, code named the Bear, out of U.K. airspace.
U.K. Prime Minister, David Cameron, dismissed the show of force, saying that the Russians "are trying to make some sort of a point, and I don't think we should dignify it with too much of a response."
Dignified or not, it seems unlikely that Great Britain's two-plane airforce could mount much more than a token defense of the British Isles.
Rumors that the Island Realm's last Main Battle Tank has run out of replacement parts and is no longer operational, have been denied by the Ministry of Defense.
