Obviously just posturing but the Ruskies need a quick slap , they're getting cheeky now.

In my RAF days in the '80s, my job was in air defence, and part of the job was tracking and intercepting the Ruskies. We would count it a quiet week if we hadn't intercepted Russian Bombers on 4 or 5 occasions. It was not unusual to have 3 or 4 A NIGHT. It should be pointed out, we send our own planes the other way as well!

Would you keep your planes on the ground until they were in our airspace?
I didn't say the RAF shouldn't go up there and keep an eye on the bombers, but the whole thing is just a non-story. The Russians are allowed to fly there, we're allowed to go and keep an eye on them, everything's fine, nothing to see here.

And look how many posters managed to say the same thing as you without behaving like a little bitch.
