"In order to identify and escort the foreign plane, three Sukhoi-35S fighter planes of the Eastern Military Region's air defense were scrambled," the command center said in a statement to TASS.
"The fighters' crews identified the target as a strategic B-52H bomber of the US Air Force and escorted it over the Pacific Ocean. There were no violations of Russia's state border or dangerous proximity of planes in the air," the statement read.
The Russian fighter jets "strictly followed the international rules of using airspace" and returned to base after ensuring "the US plane moved away from the Russian border," according to the command center.

Escorted out of Russian airspace, but never in Russian airspace?

It was probably airspace that Russia now identifies as their space, kind of like how China views the world.

We do this with Russia all the time.  They do it to us too.

Not news.

I am not the vandalist type. However if I had some glory whole stickers of biden's O face with a blacked out circle in his mouth. I'd stick them on the stalls at work.

Standard fare during the Cold War. Bear Bombers and B52s edging airspace, games we play.
Always probing, testing, prodding.










We even play that game with the ChiComs



Even the Spanish and Russians do it...





Even the Raptor gets to play...

Nah brah, two years ago when REAL pilots were serving in the military, the BUFF would have maneuvered to get the Flankers in JDAM range, get a positive lock on the Flankers and show them who's boss in the Western Pacific.



(PS I'm not dumb so I know none of this could or would happen)

Ppretty sure the only purpose that the AF pulled those B52s out of the bone yard was to use them to fuck with Russia.

Let them get used to Intercepting the 70 year old Stratofortress while the B21 is flying right over Moscow.
