    I understand that Russia does these ‘border buzz’ exercises to test response times/capabilities and to irritate their enemies.

      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.
