US jets intercepted Russian bombers off the California and Alaska coasts on
July 4
On Saturday, two pairs of Russian Tupolev Tu-95 bombers approached the US
West Coast, causing the Air Force to scramble to intercept the planes before
they breached US airspace, two senior defense officials told Fox News.
The first incident reportedly occurred at 10:30 a.m. ET off the coast of
Alaska, when Norad identified the Russian planes and two F-22s hurried to
intercept them. Another incident occurred at 11 a.m. ET off the coast of
central California and was responded to by two F-15s.
The Russian bombers they intercepted are capable of carrying nuclear weapons
, but sources do not indicate whether they were armed.
The Air Force intercepted the bombers before they entered America's
sovereign air space, which extends 12 miles out from the coast, but the
presence of the bombers is an ominous sign during the heightened tensions
between Russia and the US.
As retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, who formerly commanded the
North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) told The Washington Free
Beacon: "It's becoming very obvious that Putin is testing Obama and his
national-security team."
The type of warfare being teased is reminiscent of the Cold War not only in
theory, but in practice.
"These long-range aviation excursions are duplicating exercises I
experienced during the height of the Cold War when I commanded the Alaska
Norad region," McInerney told The Free Beacon. | G*******n
