Not the first time we have done that exercise. That was the reason I ended up on Adak during the first Cold War. And just in case someone hasn't noticed, the Russians share a border with Alaska. Big Diomede and Little Diomede are less that 3 miles apart and the Bering Straits is less than 35 miles wide at its narrow point. My point being that the Russians have always flown near Alaska.
