US Northern Command (NORTHCOM)
has confirmed the interception of two
Russian TU-95 bombers off the coast
of Alaska on Monday evening.
According to a US official, the bombers
were found 100 nautical miles south of
Kodiak Island.
The Russian aircraft were in
international airspace throughout the
encounter as American airspace
extends 12 nautical miles from the US
shoreline.
However, NORTHCOM confirmed to
ABC News that the Russian planes
were in the US Air Defense
Identification Zone (ADIZ), which
stretches 200 miles out from shore.
An Air Defense Identification Zone is
airspace that is monitored in the
interest of national security where
aircraft are required to identify
themselves.
Two F-22 fighter jets and one E-3
Sentry reconnaissance plane from
Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska
intercepted the Russian bombers for a
short time, and then flew alongside the
bombers as they turned away from the
ADIZ, the official said.
This is the first time that Russian
aircraft have approached North
America in some time.
The North American Aerospace
Defense Command (NORAD) has no
records of intercepts of Russian
aircraft in all of 2016, and the previous
intercept dates all the way back to the
summer of 2015.
