Su95's? What are those? Tu95's flying backwards? Still, the US carries out regular reconaissance right around Russia and is now installed in Georgia, within a few tens of clicks of one of Russia's major command centres base in Sochi. The upgraded Baltics radar network is already integrated into NATO infrastructure and can be turned on at the flick of a switch to look deep into Russia.

My guess is that Russia is playing China against US. It could also serve as Russia's spying expedition to what China is up to. Especially about how China will conduct amphibious invasion of any kind.
We have held "joint war games" with all manner of countries friendly neutral, and hostile.
My goodness with their combined military might they might be quite a handful!
Let's see, on the Russian side, we have a military that doesn't get paid routinely. On the Chinese side, we have an army whose sense of operational art is to hope that they have more bodies than the enemy has bullets. Neither side has anything resembling a Navy, so their aspirations would be on the Eurasian mainland. However, one of China's aspirations is to regain Siberia, which they claim Russia stole from them.
No one seems to think much of this development, nothing to worry about? They are our friends?
I guess you're saying that those joint war games we held with Sweden means that we're going to help Sweden invade Russia.
Is that why we have nukes pointed at their little part of the world?
Why do you THINK they're our friends? I'm usually VERY nice to somebody when they're pointing a gun at me...DUH!
This little article didnt mention the SU95's flying along our Alaskan border, recently, of course it was just a friendly reminder that their bombers are still just a stones throw away and we are still friends with the ruskies and red commies so dont think anytinhg of it!
They're TU-95s, and "recently" was three years ago, during Operation Allied Farce, when Bill Clinton was TRYING to PO the Russians.
