Three times this week @ANRALCOM detected, tracked and identified a Russian aircraft entering and operating within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ), a buffer zone surrounding πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ&πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ that #WeHaveTheWatch of 24/7/365.
This activity is not seen as a threat nor is the activity seen as provocative. NORAD monitors the movements of foreign military aircraft in the ADIZ and, as required, escorts them from the ADIZ. This is NORAD Operation #NobleEagle: norad.mil/Newsroom/Fact-…
NORAD employs a layered defense network of satellites, ground-based radars, airborne radar and fighter aircraft to track and identify aircraft and inform appropriate actions. We remain ready to employ a number of response options in defense of North America & Arctic sovereignty.

NORAD F-22 Raptors, supported by KC-135 Stratotankers and an E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System, successfully completed two intercepts of Russian bomber aircraft formations entering the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone last night.
The first formation of Russian aircraft consisted of two Tu-95 bombers, accompanied by two Su-35 fighter jets and was supported by an A-50 airborne early warning and control aircraft.

The second formation consisted of two Tu-95 bombers supported by an A-50.
The Russian military aircraft came within 32 nautical miles of Alaskan shores; however, remained in international airspace and at no time did they enter United States sovereign airspace.
