US P8 Poseidon patroling Irish EEZ for Russian missile tests looks to have been denied access to Irish airspace Tags:Europe 9 comments What makes you think it needed to go via irish airspace looks to me like it was patrolling the coast Is Ireland the next Germany?? It looks like a patrol, also the UK patrols Irish airspace, there would be no reason for them to deny the US. Looks like? Are you privy to their intention? Rather the P8 was patrolling the coast doing was was designed to do: anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare. Ah yes neutrality Why didnt they go around the top of Ireland? You guys *seriously* need to stop looking at air traffic data. Ireland does not allow any military aircraft that are armed to enter its airspace with the exception of UK interceptors.
