Is anyone else terrified by today's visit by a Russian Bear?

The clue is in the deployment of Typhoon Eurofighters. Damon.

Is the Typhoon an interceptor? I thought it had been designed for other missions.

Franz Joseph Strauss: We need a plane for bombing, strafing, assault und battery, interception, ground support and reconnaissance.  NOT JUST A FAIR-WEATHER FIGHTER!
Lockheed Salesman: Well, that's OK, we can make some modifications.  It'll cost a little extra, but it's worth it. Just look at the shape of this beauty. Look, I tell you what we'll do. We'll redesign the plane, right? And instead of just calling it the F104, we'll call it the F104G.
FJS: G?
LS: Yeah, er, Herr Minister - G. G for Germany
FJS: G for Germany, eh...
LS: Yeah, ehm, G for Germany, Herr Minister, you know, it'll go well on the plane, we could do a logo around it and it would look very taste up in the clouds. We could illuminate it a bit - so that on dark days you would see it twinkling like a star.
FJS: G for Germany..? Also, G for "Gott strafe England" - this I am enjoying. G for Germany!

Allegedly.
