US Forces Scramble to Intercept Russian and Chinese Bombers
U.S. and Canadian fighter jets intercepted Russian and Chinese military aircraft off the coast of Alaska on Wednesday.
A news release from the North American Aerospace Defense Command — which is made up of American and Canadian forces — detailed how NORAD first identified the targets, then tracked and later intercepted them.
The Russian and Chinese aircraft were two Russian TU-95 bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers, according to the release.
As noted by Fox News journalist Lucas Tomlinson, the incident took place just before President Joe Biden addressed the nation on Wednesday.
Ahead of Biden’s Oval Office address, NORAD says it scrambled fighter jets to intercept two Russian Tu-95 “Bear” bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers off the coast of Alaska.
