A Marine V-22 went down in Norway, during the NATO exercises near the Russian border
A US Marine Corps aircraft with four people on board went missing in northern Norway during the “Cold Response” NATO exercises in the Arctic, the Norwegian military confirmed on Friday. A possible crash site has been located and rescue crews are trying to reach it overland due to bad weather conditions.
The V-22 Osprey was on a training mission and was due to land at the Forsvaret Air Force base of Bodo at 6 pm local time on Friday, the Norwegian military said in a statement. Its last known location was at Saltfjellet, a mountain range in the Nordland province.
Search and rescue efforts were launched by 6:30 pm local time, and “discoveries were made from the air” at 9:17 pm, at Gratadalen in Beiarn, the military in Oslo added.

RT (Russia Today) is a state-owned news organization funded by the Russian government. The information provided by this news source is being included by the Libertarian Hub not as an endorsement of the Russian government, but rather because it is being actively censored by Big Tech, Western governments and the corporate press. During times of conflict it is imperative that we have access to both sides of the story so we can form our own opinions, even if both sides are spewing their own propaganda. The censorship of RT, despite likely being a propaganda outfit for the Russian government, reduces our ability to hear one side of the conflict. For that reason, the Libertarian Hub will temporarily republish the RSS feed from RT. Visit https://rt.com
