NORAD Intercepts Four Russian Aircrafts Over the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone
Fox News: Four Russian aircraft were detected and intercepted over the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone on Monday in what NORAD called a “routine” incident. Two F-16 fighter jets were dispatched by NORAD to intercept the Russian aircraft. Since 2007, Russian aircraft have been intercepted in the North American ADIZ six to seven times a year (Fox News). Hill: The command noted that the incident is in no way related to objects shot down over the United States and Canada this month and that the Russian aircraft did not enter the two countries’ sovereign airspace (Hill).
