Quote:It's not unusual for Russian military planes to intentionally fly routes that take them into the airspace of other countries. They've been doing it with TU-95's around Northern Europe for decades. The aim is mostly to test the response of the so-called Quick Reaction Alert teams, fighters that are on permanent standby and can be airborne in under 5 minutes.


Difference these incursions are usually well publicized and easily registered by both news sites as well as independent observers. Considering this instance is only being reported by a single person known to be a conspiracy nut, I'd say this happened mostly inside the brain of said conspiracy nut.
