& what's more it's quite usual e.g.;

http://www.theage.com.au/news/2001/02/16/FFX1JQDB7JC.html

" At the other side of Russia, Norwegian military officers said they
had scrambled two F-16 fighters to watch two Russian Tu-160 Blackjacks,
also capable of carrying nuclear weapons, in international airspace close
to Norway's northern border. They said Moscow had told Norway and Britain
that its aircraft could approach both countries' coasts this week, since it
was stepping up air exercises in the area. "
