Russia protests first UK RC-135W reconnaissance flight from Norway toward Kola Peninsula in 70 years

Russian Ambassador to Norway Nikolay Korchunov condemned the use of a Norwegian airbase by a British RC-135W aircraft for reconnaissance missions near the Kola Peninsula. This marks a significant shift in regional military posture, as it is the first such flight from Norwegian territory in seven decades, signaling increased NATO intelligence activity near Russia's strategic northern assets.
