The russian equivalent of the global positionning system (gps) is called glonass and it's not fully operationnel yet so it's very possible that the pilots of those plane where not aware they were in other countries air space when they were doing their military exercices.

It looks like some commenters in this thread do use glonass indeed, because the planes WERE NOT in other countries air, can we get over this fact once and for all?

How about some real talk, for example, why fucking Russians sell military systems left and right? That's much worse thing than a non-sense of stupid bombers flying in international air because 1) they compete with US military complex for very real money 2) they equip some countries which are better for us to stay unequipped

most of top us military contractor do the same, your soldiers are being killed by weapons made in the usa,the worlds top arms seller is the US
