LOL

New isnt the point but Im willing to bet its been awhile maybe alot longer than awhile. Im willing to believe not since the late 1980's. But then again I havent kept track of Russian long-range flights to Guam. So they may have been doing it everyday for the last 15 years or more. But I doubt it.

Nor is the point the aircrafts combat capability.

The point is the plane wasnt on a joy ride.

It had a mission.

That mission being testing US responses to its prescence or lack thereof., plus collecting intelligence on a wide array of US capabilities along its track.

Everyyone seems to underestimate the Russians, Not me. Not now, Not 15 years ago and Not 30 years ago.

Of course being just a youngster at 51 compared to Zraver's advanced age what do I know?

LOL
ROTFLMAO
