From the late 50's until 1991 they got "escorted" by Air National Guard,Air Force, and Navy units all the time.Putin had them start flying along borders again back in 2007.Wonder why no one made a big deal about it?

I find it funny how the article ignores the fact that there was a US military training exercise going on at the same time a major purpose of an exercise in to show possible foes that your ready of course a rival might decide to show up and say "we are watching you".Not really a big deal and I very highly doubt that the Tu-95s where carrying live nuclear warheads.
