What? Most of the cold war was game playing.
US spy planes over the USSR and Russian bombers flying over Alaskan airspace...As for the Navy...US subs sometimes shadowed Soviet subs so close they could touch them. There is no practical reason to go that close other than to prove you can do it. Somtimes the results were not positive for either the shadowing sub or the "prey".
