    They fly Bombers too close to our shore so we
    scramble fighters to scare them off.

    Seems like a childish game to me - and dangerous.

    Nothing new.
    We were Escorting Tu 95 "Bears" out of UK airspace in Canberras back when I was "In".
    They'd scramble EE "Lightenings" (QRF), but they had a comparatively short on station duration, we could "stooge" them for much longer.
    Nowadays its "Typhoon II's" & STILL "Bears".
    Nothing has changed, half the time they're trolling for comms frequencies & Radar signatures to devise countermeasures.
