Yep. This is the fourth time since May. They were also intercepted by the Royal Air Force yesterday.

The Russians are saying that they were conducting "Long range patrols in international waters". This is all good and well. However they were Tu-95 bombers that may or may not be armed with Kh-55 cruise missiles. The 3000 kilometer range of the Kh-55 makes the 200 mile limit of sovereign waters a mute point.
