My main thought is “diversion”.

We get used to having to deal with the bombers and all the while crazy Ivan is trying something else just to see if we notice!!

On that note it may be even less. How much does it cost to fly one of those old hulks versus two interceptors? Money works different in that part of the world so maybe they just want NATO to burn up some cash.

On the other hand who knows what else they have in the works what between cyber attacks, economic attack, and plain old espionage.

Good thing we have a strong president and a good CIA chief. Oh wait...

I am reminded of the fact that these planes can’t possibly pose a serious threat.

Contradicted by the fact that they can be armed with standoff weapons.

Read “BEAR - Flight to Liberty” an Historical Fiction novel about the crew of a Soviet Navy TU-95 “Bear D” that defects from the USSR to Canada, in August 1976. Available at amazon.com. Also visit its website at www.bearflighttoliberty.com to see lots of photos and videos about this airplane.
