Probing reactions. Air defenses. Scramble time and strength.

What I don't get is why.

Russia has its hands more than full with Ukraine. They cannot fight all of Europe. And if it becomes a nuke fight nobody wins.

Seems like a tactical mistake to alert everyone you intend to invade them.

Unless they don’t intend to invade and are wasting everyone’s time.

But the net result is a better-prepared Europe, which seems a negative from Putin’s point of view.

They want us to divide our attention and resources for defense.

It probably also helps to instill fear in the population.
