What's so unusual about bomber flights? There's nothing unprecedented about military units on patrol in or over the seas. Everyone does it, not the least the US; I think the collapse of the 90s was the exception for the Russians.

Any aspiring first-rate power, let alone one that has the capacity to be one, has their shows of force.

Look on the flipside - Russians are flying bombers over the seas, dropping nothing. Various western nations have no trouble flying bombers and dropping bombs of Afghanistan or Iraq. I fail to see why the former is called "show of force".

I think it's all the usual case of "What's allowed to Jupiter is not allowed to a bull." :hmm:
