The Russians are just sending a message in advance of their upcoming Spring Offensive in Ukraine, Finland, Sweden, or Belarus.

RAF Typhoon jets scrambled to intercept Russian bombers By WMNDavidWells | Posted: February 17, 2016

RUSSIAN BOMB PLANE
RAF jets escorting a Russian Bear in an exercise last year

RAF combat aircraft have been scrambled after reports Russian bombers were heading towards UK airspace in a repeat of an incident off the coast of Cornwall last year.
This time, the Typhoon jets were dispatched on Wednesday afternoon following the security alert.
An RAF spokesman said the situation was on-going and was not uncommon.

=================================

The Russians??? Noooo, they are the GOOD guys now, as least what I've read from some FReepers.

Make that Russian BEAR dance!

It is like Obama will risk nuclear war over some Muslims in Syria just because Putin outmaneuvered him on the world stage. I think Obama is that arrogant and prideful to let a nuclear exchange happen. Kerry is demented. Kerry thinks he is about to win some Nobel peace prize.

in Syria they are. Which tells you how bad Obama made Syria by supporting the Arab revolutionaries there through Turkish and Gulf Arab surrogates.

No kidding.

Obama left the Kingdom because he had a price on his head. The hour that he MIGHT have re-entered his home in the Kingdom, he would have been beheaded. No fooling around.

"The Russians are on a sales presentation. Putin is merely advertising his wares."

Russian politicians and generals have always been rather promiscuous. Somewhat like watching a burlesque show, really.
