We do the same thing. It's a test of readiness...Theirs and ours.

And we do the same thing... "Really?"
Last time I checked Russia doesn't have missiles on the Mexican boarder.
This happens all the time... "OK!"

Fixed it for you. Now, back to the point ...

We do fly-bys, fly-overs, drive-bys, float-bys, and scans, ... you name it.

Thanks... It's like that sometimes with a so called smartphone.
Did you read the two links? Did you see the Putin interview a few weeks back?

[boardman]

Is there a point?

From the spamanatior? Are you kidding?

[boardman]

Had to ask...

As for the Mexican border, anything can come across and they will let anything in to cross.

During WWII Veracruz was a German U-Boat base. There were more Nazis and Nazis sympathizers in Mexico than any where else in Latin America by the "end of the War" in Europe. Most of them came in from the West. There is no "loyalty" from that direction.

Blind Man's Bluff: The Untold Story Of American Submarine Espionage, by Sherry Sontag , Christopher Drew and Annette Lawrence Drew

From Publishers Weekly
"In an unusually successful amalgam, veteran journalists Sontag and Christopher Drew combine a gripping story with admirable research to relate previously unknown information. Throughout the Cold War, the U.S. depended heavily on submarines for intelligence gathering, whether tracking Soviet missile subs, monitoring Soviet harbors and missile tests or, in some cases, retrieving lost Soviet equipment. The U.S.S.R. responded with everything from comprehensive espionage operations to depth charge attacks on particularly intrusive snoopers. The broad outlines of this clandestine confrontation are relatively familiar, but the details have largely remained secret. Although the authors have based their book largely on interviews with submariners, intelligence operatives and politicians, they recognize the possibility of distortion and back up personal accounts with an elaborate and convincing system of verification. While necessarily incomplete, the resulting work depicts what was arguably the most successful long-term, large-scale intelligence operation in American history. From captains to seamen, the participants combined technical proficiency, insouciant courage and a cheerful scorn for regulations that often interfered with their missions. That mind-set was hardly calculated to avoid direct confrontations, and accidental collisions were not uncommon."

The downing of Flight 007: 30 years later, a Cold War tragedy still seems surreal

[T]he 747 [KAL 007] took off for Seoul at 4 a.m. local time, the crew set their autopilot. What they apparently didn't know was, it was set to fail.

The plane began drifting off its intended course and heading toward Soviet territory.

Hours later, passengers heard the familiar crew announcement, "Good morning ladies and gentlemen, we will be landing at Seoul Gimpo International Airport in about three hours. Local time in Seoul right now is 3 a.m. Before landing, we will be serving beverages and breakfast, thank you."

But sadly, there would be no landing.

Twenty-six minutes later, the captain was announcing an emergency descent and ordering crew to put on oxygen masks.

Soviet fighter pilot: 'I had a job to do'

As it neared Soviet airspace, Flight 007 was being tracked at military installations. Soviet fighter pilots and their commanders knew they were being watched, too. U.S. spy planes patrolling the region created a constant state of tension, they said later.

American surveillance aircraft included Boeing RC-135s, the military version of a Boeing 707, which looked very much like a civilian airliner.

Packed with electronic surveillance gear, RC-135s often flew figure-eight patterns near passenger routes....

By this time, Flight 007 had deviated more than 200 miles from its planned route.

Commanders at Dolinsk-Sokol airbase scrambled two Sukhoi Su-15 fighter jets and ordered them to intercept the airliner.

"The idea that Soviet fighter jets would shoot down a Boeing 747 airliner seems shockingly unbelievable. Two-hundred sixty-nine innocent people died in a largely forgotten Cold War attack..."
