I really hope they sent out some F-35s to escort these (at best) 30 year old planes home.

F35s are way too expensive, MIM-104 would be perfectly fine for the escort ;)

The Kremlin is really becoming more brazen.

What does “intercept” actually mean in this context?

Planes flew up and flew next to/beside them to escort them out of the airspace.
