I’m very curious as to the reason for all this Russian ADIZ probing. I don’t understand what they have to gain from bringing back the cold war, unless it’s some political tactic to galvanize their people behind their present government?

AK, you aren’t going to get called up when you get home, are you? If so, at least you will be somewhere you can get to a Harvey’s and a Timmy’s. Are things heating up? Stay safe.

Russia needs oil to be above $26/barrel to stay afloat. Anything over that is gravy for Putin to spend making trouble. Right now he’s like Al Capone with the keys to the treasury.

"We have responded in the traditional way to Russian incursions of our airspace by meeting them as they enter our airspace

So are they entering Canadian airspace or not?

The recent encounter took place near Inuvik, N.W.T., inside what the military dubs its air defence identification zone.

Inside the ADIZ? The Russians are indeed getting frisky. We've read reports here of them doing much the same along the borders of the northern NATO countries.
