Four Russian warplanes danced at the edges of American airspace Monday, promoting the United States to send F‑16 fighters aloft.
Russian Tu-95 Bear‑H strategic bombers and Su-35 Flanker‑E fighters entered the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, North American Aerospace Defense Command said in a statement posted on social media Tuesday.
The zone is outside of American and Canadian airspace, which wasn’t entered, NORAD said.
