"The Pentagon said the incident occurred in international airspace north of Poland" Russians admitted is was flying TOWARD their airspace - not in it. An RC-135 is not exactly stealthy, so "discovering" it would be a matter of turning on their radar.

Next time they fly one of their bombers 100 miles off the coast of California, maybe we should send Mav out to give them an inverted "salute".
