Russia, like the U.S., ceased strategic patrols in 1992, but 15 years later decided to resume the practice - on August 17, 2007 its aircraft flew their first patrol missions over five areas. They have only made one demonstration flight to the Indian Ocean, while patrols over the North Atlantic and the Pacific continue. 
Vladimir Yevseyev, a senior associate at the Russian Academy of Sciences' Institute of World Economy and International Relations Center for International Security, said the choice to patrol was made because while there was such a need, "it was impossible for the navy to stay in the Indian Ocean for a long time due to its insufficient technical readiness." </blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.spacewar.com/images/tu-160-blackjack-front-bg.jpg" href="http://www.spacewar.com/images/tu-160-blackjack-front-bg.jpg" style="font-size: 11px;">www.spacewar.com</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.spacewar.com/images/tu-160-blackjack-front-bg.jpg"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.spacewar.com/img/C33267DB-94FB-4BE3-B133-97BB4D647608" alt="http://www.spacewar.com/images/tu-160-blackjack-front-bg.jpg" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://www.clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.npa.go.jp/english/biki1/p04.html" href="http://www.npa.go.jp/english/biki1/p04.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.npa.go.jp</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.npa.go.jp/english/biki1/p04.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.npa.go.jp/img/47CB1677-E557-4DB3-904B-A0A56FFE8E2C" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/37DCBFDE-D6D4-4EFC-915C-2573B99D4668/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
