head of President Biden’s first address in the Oval Office since announcing he was dropping out of the presidential race, the North American Aerospace Defense Command Public Affairs (NORAD) says it sent out fighter jets to intercept two Russian Tu-95 "Bear" bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers off the coast of Alaska.
In a press release from NORAD, the agency confirmed that they detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on July 24.

I was stationed at King Salmon Alaska in 1979 and the Ruskies do this all the time they cross the ADIZ just to test our response time, never had no Chinese though, of course they was still isolated back then.
I don’t recall ever hearing about PRC bombers out for a stroll.

“This happens all the time since the 1950s....”
False. There has never been a joint Chinese-Russian patrol off the U.S. coast.
Gee: Why would they do that, today of all days?
/s
...which was in response to....the subs off the coast of Florida, etc., etc...
Russians, yes. Russians and Chinese, no. From my understanding, the H-6 doesn’t have the range without assistance.
Probably payback for the other day when we got close to their space.
Nothing to see here.

We may still go to war with Joe -thr Russians and Chinese are provoking a response with their aircraft. They are baiting us, and he may bite. God help us if he does.
The Xian H-6 is a pimped out Soviet Tu-16 from the early 1950s.
“Stupid and corrupt DC neocons threw that strategy out the window.”
Trying to push the LGBT agenda around the world has turned the US into the crazy uncle with nukes.
So why is NORAD announcing this just before his address?
Yep. IIRC, Russia did that around Obama’s election.
I call false flag and distraction from Biden’s declining health. He can send out the military to intercept enemy aircraft, but has no clue what to do about a weather balloon. And coincidentally at the time of his speech.

The latest patrol was “notable for being the first intercept of Chinese military aircraft near Alaska”, Korolev said.
