The U.S. Northern Command and joint U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense (NORAD) Command said two Russian bombers violated U.S. airspace near Alaska during recent arctic war games.

Disclosure by the command in charge of U.S. homeland defense followed a report in the Free Beacon quoting U.S. officials who said the Russian aircraft had threatened U.S. air space but did not cross into it and were met over the Pacific by U.S. F-15 interceptor jets.

“There was a single out-of-area patrol by two Russian
long range bombers which entered the Alaska ADIZ that were visually
identified by NORAD fighters,” John Cornelio, chief spokesman for Northcom, said in an email response to questions about the recent war games.

ADIZ is the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, a line of airspace surrounding Alaska used by the military to monitor aircraft threats.

Russian aircraft had threatened U.S. air space but did not cross into it

This seems to contradict your headline :confused:

Flying close but entering is not a threat.

If they fly over it could still be an error in equipment, judgement or a number of non-aggressive acts.

besides, they figure they can get away with it since obama erased our borders.

Happens all the time. Our Eagles intercept TU-22 Backfire/Blinders constantly.

We, however, never cross over into their airspace. :whistle:

Not my headline...but
