Here is one example:
What Are These Russian Strategic Nuclear Bombers Doing Infiltrating NATO Airspace?
"The Bears enter European airspace without asking for permission. In the latest case, NATO forces had to scramble interceptors to shadow them all the way from Denmark until the Dutch fighters that recorded this video intercepted them over the Netherlands. Fortunately, we are not in the Cold War days anymore (are we?) as any of these incidents would have initiated a serious conflict.
The Russian authorities have not given any explanation about these bomber flights, but they keep testing the waters without seemingly caring about the consequences. NATO is limiting itself to escort them out of the airspace but, according to Ares, this is already the fourth time that NATO has intercepted Tu-95 over European skies in 2011 alone."
not the most recent example, but perfectly illustrates how Russia "keeps testing the waters without seemingly caring about the consequences"... now they got shot down and are acting surprised...
