RUSSIAN BEARS

Nowhere is the need to maintain robust defences clearer than in addressing the threat from Vladimir Putin’s resurgent Russia. The Russian president has been “intimidating”, “threatening”, and “testing” Nato and its allies, Mr Fallon says, and cannot be trusted not to go too far and provoke a conflict.

What is the Defence Secretary’s assessment of Mr Putin’s motives? “Maybe the economic growth has been slackening. Maybe he sees the chance for Russia to expand its borders again. Maybe it’s resentment at the loss of the old Soviet Union – a mixture of all, perhaps.”

Is it now possible to imagine an armed conflict between Russia and the West? “I don’t trust Putin at the moment and we have to prepare for the worst,” Mr Fallon warns.

The RAF has been forced to deploy its rapid reaction Typhoon jets to escort Russian “Bear” bombers away from British air space more than 100 times this year alone, a tripling in the number of incursions since last year. British crews “are under pressure now”, he says.

These exercises aim to test British responses but Mr Putin is playing a “provocative and dangerous” game, the minister warns. Is there a risk of shots being fired? “I’m more worried about a mid-air collision where they are flying directly on top of the UK border. Their bears should stay in the woods.”
