Intercept means that our boys went up to check out the Russians. They probably got within waving distance and to make sure their "intentions" were pure and honorable. In the cold war, we did it all the time, and they would intercept us. Not major threats on either side; just a game they/we both played.
With each flight all the birds gather a bit more intelligence about capabilities and whatnot.

Thanks for explaining. That’s close to what I thought.
The Russians have not done so much close buzzing and intercepting in various countries since before Yeltsin.
