Will there be another Russian aircraft within the US no-fly zone before Sep., 2008 ?

Since there is NO background to this question: WHAT is a "US Strategic asset/interest"? Does this refer to a war zone? OR to a US "no-fly" zone? Or too close to an American warship?

What are you asking us to predict?

aside from the somewhat vague wording, this is an excellent question that i thought about posing a few days ago. i look forward to some clarification so i may participate in this market.

i agree with dan
i read the story yesterday where the american jet fighters were tagging along with the russian bomber. the americans planned to tag-a-long for a while because they brought their own refueling tanker for the jet fighters
i'll see if i can find the story

Thank you meanderingsearcher! So this refers to any "US air-exclusion zone", essentially a "no-fly zone" OR flying permit required zone.

I've edited the title and put in a suspend date. Initial likelihoods seem a little high though, don't you think?

it could happen, they mess with each (america/russia) every 5 or 6 months. both sides probably bored so they take a cruise through each others airspace. only the americans are less likely to report it unless there is an incident

i like this informative question

now it's only every 6-8 months.
when I was in the USMC, this kind of event happened all the time. I mean, 'like every other day or so'.

what happened in the film 'Top Gun' (where the russian boggies were playing games with the aircraft carrier), is just one example.

as Putin continues to flex his muscles, i believe, and bet that this will begin to happen more often.

he has a long way to go from growl to bite, but certainly no lack of will to do it. there is another question around that queries the us' likelihood of "war" with russia by 2010. if it were clearly marked to include cold war, id have fat cash on the affirmative.
