For good comments on this, look at the remarks of Patricknelson750, who points out that the Russians continued testing our air defences even after the end of the Cold War; and Clive Radley. Radley believes that Cameron’s hushing the whole thing up because he’s embarrassed that a fifty year old aircraft can successfully penetrate British airspace. I don’t doubt that he’s right. Cameron has been making massive cuts to the British armed forces, all the while claiming that this just makes them more effective and efficient. This would prove quite spectacularly that he’s wrong.

“Cameron on the news saying the Russian never breached UK airspace – well then, mate, what the hell did Claire and I see tootling down the St Mawgan valley, and over Indian Queens??? Have Easy Jet switched to Bear Bombers? Not over the coast, but over St Eval, flying low and slow.”
And in an interview with local newspaper the Plymouth Herald, Ms Bamber directly accuses Cameron of lying:
“It is bizarre to hear the government publicly denying something that I witnessed with my very own eyes. I know David Cameron is lying. I saw the…

Actually, Jeff, that made me think of a way we could prevent the Russians invading without sacrificing the valuable lives of the professional, highly trained and technically skilled soldiers of our armed forces: we send Maximus, Crapita, Serco and A4e to fight them instead. That way, no-one care who loses.
Simples!
