Ahead of President Biden’s first address in the Oval Office since announcing he was dropping out of the presidential race, the North American Aerospace Defense Command Public Affairs (NORAD) says it sent out fighter jets to intercept two Russian Tu-95 “Bear” bombers and two Chinese H-6 bombers off the coast of Alaska.

In a press release from NORAD, the agency confirmed that they detected, tracked, and intercepted two Russian TU-95 and two PRC H-6 military aircraft operating in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on July 24.

NORAD fighter jets from the United States and Canada conducted the interception.

Pretty common, few times a week, NORAD can just about schedule it on a calander.

It's common for Russian and Chinese to fly together in the ADIZ?

Surprised Russia has planes left to fly. Seems like they’ve been leaving them out west of their country in the land of the old bandmate.
