The Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers are in the identification zone of the US Air Defense Forces.
In the United States, two Russian Tu-95 strategic bombers were spotted and intercepted, operating in the Alaska air defense identification zone. This was stated in the message of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NOPAD).
It is known that the incident occurred on April 17. The Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter US or Canadian sovereign airspace.
The Russian Tu-95s were intercepted by F-16s, F-22s, KC-135 Stratotankers and E-3 AWACS fighters.
“Such Russian activity in the North American ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat or provocation,” NORAD said.
It will be remembered that the other day, near NATO airspace over the Baltic Sea, British and German Typhoon fighters intercepted two Russian fighters and a reconnaissance aircraft.
In early April, Romanian F-16s intercepted two Russian Su-27 fighters in the airspace of the Baltic countries.
