Russian Tu-95MS nuclear-capable strategic bombers complete patrol over Bering Sea

Russian Tu-95MS nuclear-capable strategic bombers have completed a routine patrol flight over international waters in the Bering Sea, Russian Defence Ministry said on Friday, February 20.

The missile carriers were escorted by fighter jets from foreign countries, the ministry said.

Earlier on Thursday, The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said it detected and tracked multiple Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) off Alaska.

NORAD detected and tracked two Russian Tu-95s, two Su-35s, and one A-50 operating in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification zone, the U.S and Canadian defense organization said in a statement.

NORAD said it responded by launching two F-16s, two F-35s, one E-3, and four KC-135s to intercept, positively identify, and escort the aircraft.

The Russian military aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace, NORAD said, adding that the aircraft were escorted until they departed the Alaskan ADIZ. | via Reuters
