Four Russian aircraft were detected and intercepted over the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone on Monday in what NORAD called a "routine" incident.
Two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched by NORAD to intercept the Russian aircraft, which included a TU-95 BEARH-H and SU-35 fighter jet.
NORAD also sent out two F-35A fighters, an E-3 Sentry, and two KC-135 Stratotankers to assist.
"Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian activity in the North American ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat, nor is the activity seen as provocative," NORAD said in a statement on Tuesday.

Bump
I worked at the Galena Combat Alert Center in the 70s and this was almost a weekly occurrence. Russian Bears testing the ADIZ.
Yep ... our repective Air Forces go up there and wave to each other. Sometimes with the whole hand, some times with only 1 finger.
It sucks having foreign military active on your borders, doesn’t it?
just the usual Russian incompetence
Everyone is trying to cash in on Beijing Benedict Beiden’s weaknesses ... which are too numerous to mention here
Well, they know they only have up to two years to take advantage of this mess.
Yeah They were trying to cash in on Gropin’ Joes weakness when Johnson was President. And when Nixon was President. And when Ford was President. And when Carter was President. And when Reagan was President. And when Bush was President. And when Clinton was President. And when the other Bush was President. And when 0bama was President. And when Trump was President.
“”Russian aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace.” and were not observed dropping off any balloons.
He should have shot ‘em down!
They were Bears. Too easy.
Hello, Ivan!
Told my husband that only Russia, the neighbor of Alaska was on the offensive.
China will bankroll Russia, negating any “sanctions”. I told him that at the onset of our proxy war in Ukraine.
There are times I would love to be wrong.
We are seeing war movements over our soil by Russia and China.
By the time the media tells us, it will be too late.
Must reads. The Big Black Book of Communism & One Second After… all three.
The times we have been talking bout are here. Unreal.
China, Russia and North Korea are doing joint exercises.
Did you bother to read this? It mentions this is regular and those “incompetents” knew to stay out of our airspace.
You are the incompetent one. Your hate makes a dope out of you.
