Russian fighters intercepted by US near Alaska
American Politics, Headlines Saturday, September 20th, 2014Two Russian fighter jets recently entered a US “air defense identification zone” and were intercepted by American warplanes near Alaska, two US defense officials said Friday.
Although Russian aircraft have entered the zone previously it was “the first time in a long time” that fighter jets passed through the area, a defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told AFP.
The encounter occurred on Wednesday and the Russian planes, which also included two refueling tankers and two long-range bombers, left the area without incident, officials said.
