Two B-52 bombers operating out of Moron AB in Spain are circling over southern Bulgaria. They are 60-0026 (NOBLE41) and 60-0056 (NOBLE42?). Both are nuclear-capable (but not carrying nukes). ImageImage
Interesting that EUCOM announced B-52 deployment as the bombers were on their way. Normally they announce it after.
Looks like Romania is next operating area for the B-52s. Potentially border area with Moldova and Ukraine? #B52 Image

Two B-52 bombers currently conducting ground targeting training over Denmark. 60-0026 (NOBLE12) and 60-0056 (NOBLE11). The B-52s are 2 of 4 on Bomber Task Force deployment to Moron AB in Spain. Here’s tweet from similar exercise last year:

After Denmark, the two B-52 bombers are heading east over the Baltic Sea and turning southeast over Poland for a display of force and training in the region. The two aircraft 60-0026 (NOBLE12) and 60-0056 (NOBLE11) are both nuclear-capable, but not carrying nukes. Image
The B-52 operations over Europe are taking place as other B-52s are operating over Northeast Asia.

B-52H bomber (60-0026, #NOBLE21) has departed Moron in Spain and heading north. Possibly one of a pair. Four B-52s from Minot AFB arrived at Moron last Friday for extended Bomber Task Force operations in Europe. 60-0026 is one of the nuclear-capable B-52s. #B52
The B-52H has reached the Norwegian Sea area west of Trondheim.
After a day of operations off western Norway and the Lofoten area, the B-52H (has anyone seen a second bomber?) is returning to forward operating base at Moron in Spain.
