I heard on the news about it; the reporter called it a case of
sabre-rattling. It was stated
that generally we'll see a pair of bear bombers about 10 times a year
doing this kind
of thing, but never a group such as this with tankers and fighters along
for the ride.
They were about 55 miles out, well outside the 12 mile limit, just a
show of force.
I also heard that Putin is moving to lock the internet out of Russia,
and there will only be
an internally-controlled internet supplied by the govt, as is the case
in North Korea. I think
he's going over the edge with all his recent actions, I guess he really
misses the old days
with the KGB.
See this page about his megalomaniacal leanings. Someone suggested the
picture on this
site makes him look like a Bond villain.
