Not this crap again.

Russia invades one country and it’s right back to Cold War shenanigans.

This is a case of either deliberately pumping up fear or a case of NATO believing their own propaganda and scaring themselves.

These aircraft were in International airspace and there's nothing in this article or any other I can find that says they violated the airspace of any nation. Their whole flight after they left Russian airspace was totally within the norms of flight training. I don't see that any German aircraft were scrambled when they passed through International airspace in the Baltic.

Really, I don't get it. What's with scrambling the aircraft and making a big deal out of this if it's not to give a false impression?

If someone has a link that elaborates on why aircraft were scrambled and how this is a big deal, please post it for me.

You all need to worry when New Zealand scrambles its airforce.
