The
propeller driven Bear bomber appears as a big target on radar. F-22's might be overkill, but it does the US a chance to do training with F-22's in real situations...
My opinion: Putin acting like an @$$h0l3 [I replaced the letters a,s,o, and e with special characters...]

Putin is out of his mind. I think he’s got that ‘little man’ complex, just like his buddy, Kim Jung Un.

It’s OK. A couple more of those beefcake shirtless pics & I’m sure his USA fan club will quickly forgive him.

The first Tupolev Tu-95 Bears were intercepted near Alaska by North American F-86 Sabre Jets in 1956.
Bears have been greeted a long line of American fighter jets.

Bombers flew 100 miles away from Kodiak island. Yeah, that’s a massive provocation. We do the same right up to the 12 mile limit.

Send up a Warthog and have him bump into the Bear.....
Warthog is a flying tank and can survive the contact.

A little overkill isn’t it? Seems like they would be more useful in South Korea.
