This is extremely amusing to me.
Of fucking course it was done deliberately.
Jets were supposed to patrol the area for security but there's no tactical reason to fly a bomber this low right on top of where they landed.
And just as they pass the F-35 on the ground too.
Say what you want about the F-35, it's too expensive or it's a jack-of-all-trade-master-of-none. Probably true. I hope we don't buy them desu. Too expensive and not ideal to patrol the arctic for us. But it doesn't matter to Russia. They're good enough, the US has got A LOT of them, and they could make A LOT more if they had to and they have the logistics figured out for these sorts of things. It's a problem for Russia that they can't ignore. They would lose an air war with the US. That's a certainty.
They just wanted to remind them of that kek.
