A British RAF Typhoon from Number XI Squadron RAF Coningsby in Lincolnshire shadows a Russian Bear-H bomber over the North Atlantic Ocean in this handout photo released August 22, 2007. Last week, Russia revived its practice of continuous long-range bomber patrols, sending 14 aircraft on such missions. On Tuesday, Britain's Ministry of Defence said two of its Royal Air Force Typhoon jets had shadowed one of those bombers. It showed pictures of the Russian Bear-H aircraft over the North Atlantic Ocean, but outside of British air space. Photo taken August 17, 2007. [Reuters]
