mabe someone can help me? I.ve been in the military. |But I do not understand bombers flying in our air space.

Question

on more than five ocasions penetration have occured. Gorbachav, stated that the u.s. would become imperrialistic, if the wall came down. Our responders do not show much interest, i'am.

Answer 1

They never entered out airspace. What they did was enter the zone that extends into international airspace where we send aircraft to inspect any unscheduled airplane.

Answer 2

At NO TIME have Russian bombers actualy been in US Airspace, they have remained in international Airspace, this is a very old game between Russia and the West going back to the days of the Cold War, it was not worrying then so why panic now??

Answer 3

Planes from many countries fly in the airspace of others. If you;re talking about armed bombers penetrating airspace w/o invitation, then that tends to get a military response.

Answer 4

We played "chicken" with the Soviets all through the Cold War. The one salient fact which seems to have been ignored in these latest games of "chicken" is that all of the bombers are piston-engine planes! For all of their saber-rattling and hurling of threats over the years, the Russians still have not developed a bomber with jet engines. Wait until the weather gets a little colder. I'll bet their ground mechanics are still stealing the de-icing fluid to drink and replacing it with water. I don't think you'll see any Bear bombers in the air near Alaska this winter.

Answer 5

Air space is an invisible line. Kinda like a line in the sand.

When they get to far over the line they will be escorted out.

Its a test of wills.

Answer 6

They aren't in "our" airspace. They are in international airspace that they usually aren't seen in. Nothing we can do about it.
