Two Russian bombers fly near Alaska

Russia said on Wednesday that two of its Tu-95MC strategic bombers flew over waters near the US state of Alaska, but added that they stayed within international space.

The Tu-95s, known as bears by NATO, flew for about 9 hours, accompanied by SU-30SM fighter jets. They flew over the Bering Sea, according to Russia's Defense Ministry.

"The flight was carried out in full compliance with international rules for the use of airspace," said General Sergei Jobylash, commander of the Russian aviation.

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORDA) said it spotted four Russian fighter jets flying in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).

"The Russian aircraft remained within international airspace and did not enter US or Canadian sovereign airspace," NORAD said in a statement.

Russia's president, Vladimir Putin, in 2007 reinstated the Soviet-era practice of sending strategic bombers regularly on patrol across Russia's borders./ REL
