It is noted that Russian aircraft did not enter the sovereign airspace of the United States and Canada.

    You might not have come in ... but "hello" for practicing a missile attack on Kaliningrad should have been conveyed at the "official" level

      checked the US air defense off Alaska
      Let them say thank you for not anti-missile. Planes can always be recalled, but missiles are more difficult.

          I am translating from American into common human language: "Alaska's air defense identification zone" is international airspace where all countries of the world have every right to fly. smile

      Why didn't they make an imitation of an attack on the United States? In response to the Black Sea.

    ",,,,, the command remains vigilant and ready to protect the sovereign airspace of Canada and the United States, as well as contain and eliminate potential threats on air and sea approaches ....."

    From the routine it is imperative to make a show .... the main thing is to present it beautifully, so that they do not forget that the "command" also wants to eat ...

    And so that the adversary does not relax. And then they got used to seeing the enemy only on TV.

    It's strange how they got there at all, or the resource was reset to zero? Where are the fifth generation aircraft and the new bombers? Until we fly for old stuff? I wonder what kind of aircraft the minister has, I suppose it is not flying on a yak 40….

      So the United States could not identify these planes. They will not see the fifth generation at all.
      In the message of the North American Aerospace Defense Command, there is no information about which Russian aircraft appeared in Alaska,

      It looks like you were minus those whose work is to regularly patrol the borders of the enemy's air defense ... On sofas ... In the light of TV screens on the Zvezda channel (I admit, for some time I was an adherent of the said channel ... until the propaganda did not break away from reality at all ..)

    Well, not all the "civilizers" have to check us, and we must answer sometime! Let them also twitch, carry out the operation "indestructible interception" as they like, declare "Russian aggression", someone in Alaska will write a letter of resignation, unable to withstand the stress of these Russian barbarians. In general, let them be nervous too! ))
