You guys worry too much, Russia isn't going to do shit. Putin has now turned Russia into a slightly richer North Korea. He has isolated him self and continues to act out because it gives him high approval ratings at home. 5 years from now when all these sanctions have run their course and Russia's population has felt the brunt of it, well Putins approval ratings will be at a all time low.
These little aircraft incursions are nothing new, they do it all over and we do the same to them. We fly spy planes right up to their boarders and hell the Blackbird used to penetrate their air space. In fact the BlackBird was often used to fly over various "bad guy" countries during their public parades and speeches just to sonic boom their asses.
Hell Russia couldn't even properly invade Ukraine, Putin lolly gagged around trying to pretend he didn't really want it and now NATO has their forces staged In yet another country. If Putin was a bad ass and wasn't worried about being punished, he would of taken all of Ukraine in the first few weeks not just the military base.
Russia could of rolled over Ukraine at the start and there would of been nothing NATO could of done about it, but he wasted some much time trying playing that he lost his opportunity. Now Russia has yet another enemy at it's door steps and has alienated themselves from a former ally.
Russia is doing nothing but putting themselves in check..
