Two Tu-95MS strategic bombers have successfully completed a routine patrol mission over the Arctic Ocean, the Defense Ministry said on Monday. The mission - the first so far this year - began on the night of January 27-28 and lasted more than 16 hours. The bombers were refueled in mid-air from an Ilyushin Il-78 tanker. The bombers were shadowed over neutral waters by two British Eurofighter jets. Russia\'s strategic bombers flew about 50 patrol missions last year, the ministry said.
