According to NORAD, six Russian planes were intercepted close to the airspace of Alaska while the US military was conducting training exercises.

On Saturday, the North American Aerospace Defense Command announced that it had intercepted six Russian planes that were flying near the coast of Alaska. NORAD stated in a press release regarding the incident on Thursday that it had detected, tracked, identified, and intercepted the Russian aircraft while they were operating within or close to the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ).
The statement stated that Russian aircraft did not enter the sovereign airspace of America or Canada and remained in international airspace. Meanwhile, there are talks of a spring offensive and Ukraine is making progress in Bakhmut, while the Wagner tantrum continues.
Several pre-planned large-scale flights took place in the United States.
Ongoing military training exercises are taking place in Alaska. The press release stated that the Russian aircraft involved were Tu-95 bombers, IL-78 tanker, and Su-35 fighter aircraft. In a rare admission, a Kremlin spokesperson stated that the invasion of Ukraine is proving to be very difficult. The intercepted Russian aircraft were Tu-95 bombers, IL-78 tanker, and Su-35 fighter aircraft, which were intercepted by F-16s, F-22s, KC-135 Stratotankers, and E-3 AWACS.
According to the press release, Russian aircraft incursions in the ADIZ happen frequently and are not considered to be a danger. NORAD has calculated that around six to seven such incursions occur annually. To access the Fox News app, click here.
