"The Russian Tu-95 bombers on a training exercise Thursday penetrated a North American buffer zone"
They are probing our radar and air defense coverage. This sort of stuff has been occurring for years.

Russian defense officials are quoted in the article as claiming that the TU-95 flew 'unobserved' for a considerable part of its mission. I presume this means that they weren't 'painted' by a tracking radar. OTOH, there's no way they could know whether an F22 was lurking -- and they do have some Raptors up at Elmendorf.
