I have a hard time believing this is the first time.

This is likely the first time anything has crossed with OFFICIAL Russian Military plates, though.

These are apparently regular Russian forces, though a small unit.

As I said, it is likely the recon element for the escort. IMO, this will kick off in earnest just after dawn.
