    If the RAF had followed your train of thought in the past both Britain and Russia would have been obliterated long before the invention of the interweb. This went on every week for twenty years or so, and the last few years they've been at it again. They're having a nosey about. How to you think the Navy were able to offer assistance (unfortunately refused) when the Russians lost a submarine? Were they perhaps snooping around in Russian waters? Should the Russians drop depth charges every time they suspect a Britis sub is nearby?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

          What does that have to do with the paradigm of mutually assured destruction?

            At least it gives us a chance to test our Russian detection systems. Its a bit of a mystery as to what Russia gets out of flying through our airspace though.

              Nothing, but it was caused by the constant probing and testing of unfriendly airspace.

                  Radar signature acquisition.

                  Some nice pictures of Tornados flying close by.

                  A nice day out.
