Also these sorts of intercepts have been going on since the Cold War. Every so often we fly a bomber by their territorial waters, and they fly one near ours.
A few days ago a US B-52 was intercepted by Russian fighters near Lithuania. The US bomber was there on exercise. I'd guess this exercise by the Russians was just a tit-for-tat response.
