Japan responded by scrambling 22 jets and lodging an official protest with the Russian embassy.

The eggs would have passed the best before date by then. Our lords and masters would have leaned the yokes out and left the shells in. They would go and buy powered yolks at four times the cost, cancel the order, pay the fine and then go out and buy organic at 3 times the price.
Thats progress for you.

well sailor boy, at least we have got more than 22 jets to play with. My estimate to generate them would be 4-6 weeks, not including the extra courses for all involved and the stress mangement for the rects controller.
22 jets. last time the Navy saw that many they was flyin 'tooms. 22 jets is that more/less/the same as the number of grey painted targets you ride about in, I think they're called boats

Of course, in the era of effects-based operations, perhaps we could skip the appallingly stone-aged kinetic response of scrambling jets and go straight to the formal protest..... after all, as that nice General Smith wrote in his frightfully clever book, it's all hearts and minds now and all you really need are boots on the ground.
