In a recent report by CNN, it has been revealed that Russian military aircraft have been detected off the coast of Alaska for the third time in the past week, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). This comes amidst growing tensions between the United States and Russia, as both countries continue to engage in military activities near each other’s borders.
NORAD has confirmed that the Russian military aircraft, which include Tu-95 bombers and Su-35 fighters, were intercepted by US F-22 fighter jets and Canadian CF-18 fighter jets. The aircraft were reportedly flying within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone, but did not enter US or Canadian airspace.
This latest incident follows similar encounters earlier in the week when Russian military aircraft were detected flying near Alaska. The US and Canada have been closely monitoring Russian military activities in the region, as tensions between the two countries continue to escalate.
The presence of Russian military aircraft near Alaska highlights the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the United States and Russia. Both countries have been engaging in military activities near each other’s borders, raising concerns of a potential military confrontation.
NORAD has stated that they will continue to monitor Russian military activities near the Alaskan coast and take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and security of North American airspace. The US and Canada remain vigilant in protecting their borders and airspace from any potential threats posed by Russian military aircraft.
