[russian bombers] where, asks iceland

The flight tower at Keflavík airport was seemingly unaware of two Russian bombers that flew through Icelandic airspace last Friday. This is claimed by Hjördís Gudmundsdóttir, press officer of the Icelandic Directorate of Civil Aviation (DCAA) … who says that the DCAA only registers aircraft that have their radars on and this is not always the case with military aircraft. Gudmundsdóttir admits that communications with radar stations have been somewhat lax since the departure of the US military, but says that the Icelandic airspace is just as secure as it was before. It just doesn’t detect planes with their radars off. This is all.
