Ofcourse are the russians. They also invaded UK air space with a Tu-160 bomber, flew over a city and turned back without any interception from RAF.

That doesn't look much like the situation described above.
In any event, Russian bombers patroling close to Norwegian airspace is very common these days but it's still not up to cold war levels.

Thats because we have nothing to do with our handfull of fighterplanes - so we intercept anything including canada geese and a cheeky stork.

The sub was obviously Russian - maybe another drunk russian captain who had too much Whiskey on the rocks ...
