American F-22 hoisted to intercept Tu-95MS in the Alaska area

American TV channel Fox News reported that the US Air Force fighter jets took to the air to intercept strategic missile-carrying bombers Tu-95MS. The report, spread by the so-called Northern Command of the US Armed Forces, says that Russian aircraft were moving at a distance of about 150 km from the American island of Kodiak south of the coast of Alaska.

It is particularly emphasized that the flight took place "in 450 km from the US Air Force base Elmendorf-Richardson." This military base is located in the largest city of Alaska Anchorage. The base houses the northwestern command of NORAD (the United States and Canadian Aerospace Defense System).

Representatives of the Northern Command of the Pentagon reported that the F-22 of the US Air Force had been raised to intercept Russian strategic bombers. In addition, the missile carriers in the air was accompanied by an American E-3 early-warning aircraft, which returned to the airbase only after the Tu-95MS of the Russian Aerospace Forces left the US air defense identification zone.

From the message of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation (quoted RIA News):

All flights of airplanes of the Air Force were carried out and carried out in strict accordance with international rules for the use of airspace over neutral waters, without violating the borders of other states.

Tu-95MS, departing from the air base Ukrainka (Amur region), made a flight in the Alaska region in the international airspace 17 of April.

This has been done all my life ... our strategists constantly patrol off the coast of the United States (and they are constantly accompanied by American fighters) ... and vice versa ..

[Mar.Tirah]

I don’t remember about the American bombers, but the RS-135, constantly hanging in Chukotka near our borders, the SR-71 from time to time. Just like in the good old days. And there wasn’t any hysteria in the media. Everyone worked as scheduled. The board numbers and the names of the pilots even knew

RS-135, constantly hanging in Chukotka near our borders, SR-71 occasionally

So the presence of the Tu-95MS in this region is not clear. Of course, I understand: work experience and all that. Only with them would a plane - a scout run to scan their air defense and the characteristics of the F-22 locators. On some old Tu-95Ks, at least some reconnaissance equipment was of the Rhombus type, but now there is none.
And so it turns out just a demonstration of power.

[Mar.Tirah]

Who knows, who knows? Maybe it’s worth something? A demonstration of the presence is too wasteful these days. Although ..... they used to fly there too. And I even saw them visually. They drove down specially at our air base. At the same time, they worked and our ice reconnaissance aircraft.

[Iline]

Believe me, there is no intelligence equipment on them. The equipment that is in the defense complex is for completely different purposes.

[hunter]

They (Americans) are pulling 3 AUGs to the DPRK (this is next to us), we responded by flying bombers along their borders. Everything is as it should.

[Rushnairfors]

They constantly fly there. Just patrolling geographically distant objects, general RTR, well, studying the tactics of enemy aviation — interception time, line of meeting with interceptor aircraft, total escort time, weapons on board, aircraft flight numbers, etc. Then all the data goes to GOU GSH for analysis.

[Evil543]

The minimum distance between us is 4 km, the distance along the strait is 80 km, I hope that they did not accidentally fly to visit us?

[Mar.Tirah]

If they fly in, we don’t have anything to answer there. Mig 31 is just about to deploy. The SAM is far away.

[antivirus]

Why are you worried? in an open Western society, everyone should be accepted with demo slogans. I was surprised that: "who returned to the airbases only after the Tu-95MS VKS of the Russian Federation left the US air defense identification zone."
--- And 12 miles and benefits to everyone who is against totalitarianism?

[Triton]

And that they squirm so much, we don’t need you for nothing

[ALLxANDr]

Duc fidget because they intimidated themselves so much that it even reached the persecution mania ... I recall a wonderful film - A Game of Mind. I review this film from time to time.

[Mountain shooter]

From the "Ukrainian" took off? So this is a completely different matter. It is necessary for Ilonka to give up the idea that they were secret dill planes, and bam ... Independence Square turns into a ravine of independence. For amers, everyone with geography has a stress.
But it’s impossible to take such news seriously. Our strategists are always accompanied by enemy fighters. Where they can fly up. So what?

Have you taken off from Ukrainka? So this is a completely different matter.

Yes, yes, yes .... let Pece be presented ..

[Sergey Kranov]

Mountain shooter: do not touch the beautiful fool Ivanka, because she adopted Judaism and in all respects listens to her Jewish husband D. Kushner, who is in the admin. Trump represents the interests of Israel. And since Jews / Waltzmanns, Groysmans and co ./ came to power in Little Russia, the mattresses will not touch them.

Everyone has their own work ...

[Triton]

it’s good that they still haven’t taken a provocation, they will become

[drunkram]

Apparently there was little time for fantasy

[Vincent]

Heaped up go in pants ... And suddenly they have zircons on board, go and know what these Russians invented, spit 450 km for them, here’s the answer to your pro ... Run, intercept!

[Aim point]

Right now, from behind a pile of scrap metal in your pants heap

[Banishing liberoids]

And what is the result - maybe a hundred and95 Yankees planted in Alaska?

[yuriy55]

American F-22 climbed the intercept Tu-95MS in the Alaska area

And they say that the Americans do not like the Russian VKS ...
Even grandfather said so: “How do you define it like, don’t like it? If at the sight of it it“ rises, ”then it means like ...“ Oh! He meant it differently.

But in general, it is necessary to fly. Regularly and constantly ... We did not have time to climb the intercept ... so they do not like ...

[askort154]

It would be interesting to know the results of our r / lacquering on F-22? It seems that these are the first F-22 approaches to our "strategists". It’s also good for us.

[Rushnairfors]

The first interception "Raptor" back in 2007 was in the Aleutian Islands. Concerning the radar, they are induced either from the ground or from Avax, therefore they do not irradiate us and the STR "is silent." You often find out that you were intercepted when they were already under the planes.

[shura7782]

I wonder how Americans have snow in Alaska. Likely there are like snowdrifts in our cab. Or for escort they have time to work with shovels in the parking lot.
Air defense respond, please !!!

[Alexey-74]

Ordinary weekdays aviation. But Americans must be kept in good shape all the time.

[PROXOR]

I believe it is true when detecting an approaching enemy to include on the air Hell March. To mattress pilots are not very vyzhivatsya)))))

[sgapich]

So what? Our silent ninety-eight accompanied their invisible twenty-second. Normal work ...
