Two F-16 fighter jets were previously dispatched by NORAD to intercept separate Russian aircraft on Monday, which included a TU-95 BEARH-H and SU-35 fighter jet.
"This is the second intercept of Russian aircraft over two days. This Russian activity near the North American ADIZ occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat, nor is the activity seen as provocative," NORAD said Thursday.
U.S. Air Force units stationed in Alaska, near America’s frozen border with Russia, say intercepts rose to 60 a year in 2020, up from just 10 in 2015, according to Air Force Times. While the aircraft in Russia’s Aerospace Forces don’t actually come near Alaskan airspace, they do require the Air Force to sortie a number of planes, from F-22 Raptors to tankers, to meet them.
The Russian flights are typically carried out by Tu-95 “Bear” bombers, Il-38 May maritime patrol aircraft, Il-38N maritime surveillance aircraft, and in September 2020, Sukhoi Su-35E “Flanker-E” twin-engine fighter jets.
