    Why is this news, from the article this looks to be a fairly “routine” event? Not that I support Russia, but I imagine NATO forces are also engaging in similar behaviour somewhere else?

        Ya this is one of those, it’s routine and a big damn deal at the same time. Russia technically did nothing wrong. But at the same time they aren’t exactly being good neighbors

            Yes I believe there are some Scandinavian countries in quite a lot of water between the two.

            Although I haven’t actually checked lately perhaps they moved things around.

              Glancing at Google Maps, a great circle route from Murmansk probably lets you skirt most national airspace.
