Russia must feel so stupid for selling Alaska for next to nothing.

Why even show intercepts? This happens all the time...

[Delatta]

I was stationed in Alaska, and not only does this happen often, but NORAD keeps score and posts the information at the BX entrance 😊

They are testing US reaction time and the toys we send and from where we take off and etc.

[phillycheesesteak]

If they did not enter our airspace, and were not seen as a threat, then why is this news?

This is called "the courtesy demands reciprocity."

[anthonyI]

People don’t remember America does the exact same thing tho. It’s really nothing

[avalonsfate]

So? International airspace. We didn’t “intercept” anybody.

First time China & Russia combining like this.

Nothing new. The Chinese and the Russians are getting a little cozy though.

[czjfecs]

There was also an F22 nearby but nobody knew it.

[cooliobob-qo]

We are still on track for the fallout time line.

[stardust]

US and Canadian fighter jets. Get it right.

[joeshmoe-rlbk]

...shoulda done maneuvers at the Mexican warmer, and there would be no intercept by the U.S. military

[elijahnoah]

Its International Airspace like you say in South China Sea.

[robertoleary]

This type exercises have been going on for decades!

[LegendaryGodKing]

The F-22 is going to be mad as hell it didn't get to intercept.

Of course as a threat and yes, it invaded United States air space because it’s in Alaska. These bombers were intercepted by the United States and Canada. And then you’re saying it’s not seen as a threat I don’t believe it you can say anything you want but if they’re invading our air space, obviously you’re saying they’re not that’s not true because it’s Alaska. That’s our air space. Do you think people are stupid
