It tends to be tit-for-tat as well. British ships challenge Russian coastlines, American subs emerge inside areas of Russian control, French planes overfly Russian military bases...

All this gets reported in Russian media as provocative, which reinforces the rationale for further conflict with Western nations.

When these countries enter a state of detente, the maneuvers don't stop happening. State news agencies simply stop using the incidents to agitate for further conflicts
