A Russian bomber and fighter escorts were intercepted by US and Canadian jets Monday night. NORAD says the incident was not a threat. What do you think would happen if that Russian bomber was blown out of the sky?

@SusanInFlorida No, that would be WW3. That is why nobody has been that stupid for almost 100 years now.

There is a reason why you don't shoot first at everything in the sky.

And this has been going on for decades.

The CF101 Voodoo was retired in 1984.

And here is an old USN F4 Phantom.

They remained in international airspace ... not quite at the point to blow them out of the sky
