Russia has always done this. It is why Putin makes such a good media villain. He has continued the tradition of probing foreign, especially non-friendly airspace. Usually a couple Tupolevs even, just to see how the targeted country responds. Here's what I like though, you even copied it in the OP; [quote] The Russian bombers they intercepted are capable of carrying nuclear weapons, but sources do not indicate whether they were armed. [/quote] Well ain't that tryin' to stoke the fires of WWIII. I'm pretty sure, at this stage in the game, the US could even put some sort of compact nuclear device on an F-16 if they wanted. I highly doubt Russia is cruising around with active Nukes while they probe airspaces- haha
We've done some pretty stupid shit related to hauling nukes on planes. Quite a few near misses of accidentally nuking ourselves.
