Russian bombers land in Venezuela

By Berni | September 11, 2008

Sep 11 – Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez says that two Russian strategic bombers have arrived in the country on a training mission.

The Russian Air Force said the bombers would be based in Venezuela for several days and would carry out training flights over neutral waters.

The planes arrived days after Russia and Venezuela announced they will conduct joint naval exercises in the Caribbean later this year involving a nuclear-powered Russian battleship. Chavez – an outspoken critic of the United States – has developed close ties with Russia.
