US F-16 warplanes intercepted two Russian nuclear capable bombers near the state of Alaska.

U.S F-16 warplanes intercepted two Russian nuclear capable bombers in international airspace near the state of Alaska, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said Tuesday.

The Tu-95 bombers were intercepted the previous day after “entering and operating within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone,” NORAD said in a statement.

The Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) is a perimeter in which air traffic is monitored beyond the border of national airspace to provide additional reaction time in case of hostile actions.

While tensions are high between the United States and Russia over Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, NORAD said the bombers were not seen as a threat.

“NORAD tracks and positively identifies foreign military aircraft that enter the ADIZ,” and “routinely monitors foreign aircraft movements and as necessary, escorts them from the ADIZ,” the statement said.

Russia typically holds annual nuclear exercises around this time of year, though it was unclear if the presence of the bombers was related to the drills.

Interceptions of Russian aircraft in the area — which is close to the country’s far eastern border are relatively frequent.

I'm failing to see any problem here.

In other words, the double-standard US are in violation of international airspace law.

If only the Russians saw the future, they wouldn't have hurriedly sold out Alaska out of fear to the US.

Pls all these quack journalists should stop all these sensational headline.

Propaganda... So any plane or drone is now nuclear bomber..

If it's in another country now you'll attack the planes. Now, Russian planes are in your country and you term them harmless.


The fear of Putin is the beginning of wisdom.

Nigeria airforce left the chat

It just began.....

US is only testing their power

Russia can't retaliate

Ok

Heh! I hope this scuffle will not eventually degenerate into third world war like Trump "prophesied" ó.

Alaska is US property, originally owned by Russia but sold to the former for some shikini money.

And before you come and contest the fact that a whole swathe of territories cannot possibly be traded, Nigeria was sold to Britain by the Portuguese also for shikini money. So somehow the region occupied by Nigeria is owned by the British.

That is the wicked illegality that was perpetrated by these so called Caucasians on humanity, abruptly ending centuries old civilizations and cultures of dark skinned people who had lived with their own natural way of thinking, fighting, "jawing", "warring", living and civilization. Then foisting their own civilizations on them.

The French also did theirs with the francophone africakln countries which they still have a firm grip on up till today. The Caucasians also did something similar with India and the rest of Asia. Ethiopia was about the only African nation that did not experience colonisation, lucky them.

But it seems this current wave of deglobalization is about putting an end to these evil.

Actually, the scenario is likely to be the opposite. I am afraid for the US. The country has chewed more than it can bite such that is is fast losing allies. India, Saudi Arabia and some African countries are no longer staunch US allies. The US is complicating it by also siding a country they themself declared a terrorist state like Pakistan against India. They destroyed Venezuela and plunged that country into recession, now they are thinking of running back to beg Venezuela to open their tap of oil since KSA (Saudi Arabia) under OPEC plus has denied the US their wish.

The US is also invading Haiti at the moment because the people are protesting against the puppet president installed by the US.

Some countries in the EU are beginning to hate themselves for blindly following the US in placing sanctions on Russia when they could have taken better diplomatic decisions that will address their disagreement with Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Now that they (those countries) are out of gas to survive the winter and the US bombing of the Nord stream one pipe to finally bury any hope of those European countries reconciling with Russia, they are now beginning to realize that the US may not really care about them so much as they believed.

Germany is experiencing citizen protests at the moment because of the coming winter and also inability of factories to work because of lack of gas.

A lot is happening, but it seems the US is fast losing the love it had from her friends.

Putin will soon be put to prison
