Russian, Chinese bombers intercepted by U.S. military near Alaska

Two Russian and two Chinese bombers were intercepted by the U.S. military in international airspace near the coast of Alaska Wednesday, officials say. The aircraft did not enter U.S. airspace and the activity was "not seen as a threat," according to NORAD.

In Russian news: America is flying in international airspace close to Russia.

Intercept in International Airspace WTF 🤣🤣

[JasonMuga-gtxd]

This is not important and means absolutely 100% nothing!

[robertf]

Oh they're really trying aren't they?

Let me go watch Deadpool 3 before WW3, I already bought tickets and it starts in an hour

[cuauhtemocestrada]

They were flying in International air space. Like any other nation has a right to do. Why add the second fear mongering beat of “off the coast of Alaska”? Jeez! 🤦

[avex]

dont cry muricans its international airspace and freedom of navigation

[roydl]

All depends how you want to see it, also they were close to Russia, in INTERNATIONAL AREA

[thejeffinvade]

What comes around, goes around. American planes fly outside Chinese airspace all the time. This is just a reciprocal response.

Not a threat that’s a lie they’re not there for no reason at all

This is why it's important to make sure that Ukraine doesn't get taken by Russia Alaska was most recently owned by Russia before we bought it. When Trump was President a large nuclear containing ship went through and moored outside of Alaska don't know if it's still there but if you think that Alaska is so far away from Russia you haven't been paying attention no different than Ukraine if they want it

200 kilometers off the coast of Alaska. They were probably even closer to the coast of Russia...

Ever heard the saying “The enemy of my enemy is my friend”? I’m calling this a threat.

[solidorsharp]

Yes this is definitely a threat ! The media shouldn’t be down playing this nor should our government or military commanders !

[rusticcloud]

So, are those bombers or fighter jets? Those two things are different.

[rudolfoafonzo]

Tu 95 with kh102 missile range 5.500 km,
H6 with long swords missile rsnge 2.500 km.
If they carry hypersonic????
Those bomber far from usa air defense, , ,
But those 4 bomberr missile can visits usa mainland with no problem, 😉

Governor Dunleavy, Senator Murkowski, members of the Alaska Congress; I was born and raised here; please de-escalate the rhetoric around this, please? These planes never entered “Proper” Alaskan Airspace. Why raise a fuss here?

[Heitorr]

Started saying bombers, ended saying fighters

[stk]

Russia is right there, why shouldn't they be flying there

[James-oui]

We are vulnerable without a strong leader!!
