United States and Canadian fighter jets intercepted multiple Russian and Chinese bomber aircraft in international airspace off the coast of Alaska on Wednesday, according to a statement from the North American Aerospace Defense Command.
Two Russian TU-95 and two People’s Republic of China H-6 military aircraft were “detected, tracked, and intercepted” while operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on Wednesday, according to NORAD.
According to NORAD officials, the Russian and Chinese aircraft did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace and were “not seen as a threat.”
The interceptions were carried out by U.S. F-16 and F-35 fighter jets, as well as Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18 fighter jets.
