Default Russian Bear T-95 Bombers provoke Dutch and UK Airspace

Last night, two Bear T-95 Bombers entered Dutch Airspace withouth clear intentions. They were escorted by F-16's untill they reached the UK.

It has become a recent habit of the Russians to test the combat readiness within the EU. They fly around Norway and then head south over the North Sea.

When i just googled for an English news article on it i just saw they also visited Canada lately. The other news reports for Europe date back to 2007.

Does anybody have any comments of what they actually try to achieve? Or is itr just a bully?

I say, lets test the Patriots on some else then Scud heading to Israel (1990-1992)
