Repetitively challenging our borders with nuclear strike aircraft, the Russians are becoming bolder by the day. You decide. We have the weakest president in the history of this nation and the once defeated Soviets are gaining strength over us by the day as a result of our national complacency. How long before the Russoans assert their dominance globally and slap America down
Russian strategic bombers conducted flights within the U.S. defense
zone close to northern Alaska and the Aleutian Islands last week in
Moscow’s latest incident of nuclear saber rattling against the United
States, according to defense and military officials.
Two Bear H nuclear-capable bombers were detected flying into the
military’s Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) near the
Aleutians, where a strategic missile defense radar is located, and
Alaska’s North Slope region by the Arctic and Chukchi Seas on April 28
and 29, military officials told the Washington Free Beacon.
Lt. Cmdr. Bill Lewis, a spokesman with the U.S. Northern Command,
confirmed the fighter intercept of the latest bomber incursion but
declined to provide details.
“Two U.S. F-22′s from Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska, were launched
and visually identified Russian aircraft on the night of April 28, as
the Russian Air Force flew standard out of area flights near Alaska,”
Lewis said.
The bombers did not enter U.S. airspace, he said.
However, the Alaska ADIZ is a formal national security zone used by
the military to monitor both civilian and military aircraft. The
dispatch of F-22s is an indication the bomber flights posed a potential
threat to U.S. territory.
It was the fifth incident of Russian strategic bombers flying against
the United States since June, when Bear bombers were intercepted near
Alaska during a large-scale Russian strategic nuclear exercise that
Russian military officials said involved practice strikes against U.S.
missile defense sites in Alaska.
Less than a month later, on July 4, two more Bears flew the closest
to the northern California coast that Russian aircraft have flown since
the days of the Soviet Union.
Then in February two Bears circled Guam, a key U.S. military hub in the Pacific.
Additionally, Backfire strategic bombers flew simulated strikes against U.S. missile defenses and bases in Japan last month.
