“I’m glad the Russians do this, it’s good practice for our defense systems.”

I think this is more like Kabuki theater than a test of our defenses. I think a future attack will covertly focus on non-war related systems designed to collapse our economy. Sabotage and electronic attacks that can be carried out anonymously from third world countries, like spreading computer viruses and collapsing the electrical grid. As more and more things get wired into the internet we are developing new vulnerabilities. Cars that are internet connected will also be a target. We’ll know we are under attack when little in our daily lives works, from the car to the phone to the computer. Bombers are so yesterday. (No, I am not advocating getting rid of bombers. Just saying these incursions are political posturing.)

Good point. Just like the main purpose of the the strategic bomber in WWII was not to destroy the military directly. It was to destroy the infrastructures and industry that supported it.
