Two Russian Bear bombers -- escorted for the first time by a pair of Su-35 "Flanker" fighter jets -- entered Alaska's Air Defense Zone on Wednesday night, U.S. officials told Fox News.
The Russian formation was intercepted by a pair of U.S. Air Force F-22 stealth fighter jets that were already flying a patrol about 50 miles southwest of Chariot, Alaska. A NORAD spokesperson told Fox News the intercept began at 9 p.m. ET on Wednesday and a defense source said it also occurred into Thursday.
It was the first time the U.S. Air Force has seen advanced Russian Su-35 fighter jets escort Russian Cold War-era bombers near Alaska.
The Russian fighter jets were unarmed and remained in international airspace, officials said.
Late last month, Russian bombers flew near Alaska over four consecutive days for the first time since 2014.
There are a number of theories as to why we are suddenly seeing these "fly-bys" recently, which have been fairly common up here for years, however I tend to think that this is just another attempt to make it appear there is tension between the Trump Administration and Putin and distract from the investigations in to collusion.
Putin is typically good at this kind of thing, however this seems tragically transparent to me.
We didn't need to send fighters up to escort them away from our airspace. All that was needed is Sarah Palin to shoo them away saying skedaddle you pesky Russians, Mama Griz is watching you.
ReplyDeleteWell, geez, where's your super duper ex-Gov? Why isn't she on this? I thought she was going' ta protect you all from that big bad
ReplyDeleteVlad?
Nah, she is no more than Putin/Trumps tiny cock holster.
DeleteWell, Gryphen, you owe Screechy an apology! Apparently she was seen running thru her sleepy village in a gauzy nightgown ringing that bell and firing that musket to warn the sleepy villagers that the Russians are coming! the Russians are coming!
ReplyDeleteEverybody to get from street!!
My theory is Putin is faking aggression between Russia and America.
ReplyDeleteWhen Putin and Trump actually meet in person, the great negotiator will convince Russia to stop crossing into our airspace to avoid possible future military conflict.
At 3am, the great negotiator will tweet how he saved civilization. America will look at the great negotiator as our peace keeper, leader and Savior.
As our Savior, the great negotiator's lies, scams, con jobs, all his pussy grabbing, his racial tone, women hating attitude, his Russian friendly administration, Russian-Trump campaign collusion, his Narcissistic Personality Disorder, possible Dementia and incestrial mental thoughts will be overlooked.
In return for being our ally against terrorism, the great negotiator will lift our sanctions against Russia making Putin, Trump, Tillerson and Exxon a shit load of money.
Correct. Its all an act. A distraction. 2 grand jury hearings going on. One nearly complete.

ReplyDeleteThere is a slight correction, the retawd "warned the RUSSIANS that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms by ringing those bells, and makin' sure as she's riding her ONE NATION SHRINK WRAPPED TOUR BUS through WASILLA to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free." (Excuse the word salad quote)
Spasebo, Comrade. I was in a hurry and time waits for no man.

" just three floors below Trump’s penthouse residence — running what prosecutors called an “international money-laundering, sports gambling and extortion ring.”
Delete"ABC News conducted a review of hundreds of pages of property records and reported in September that Trump-branded developments catered to large numbers of Russian buyers, including several who had brushes with the law. Russian buyers were particularly drawn to Trump licensed condo towers in Hollywood, Florida, and Sunny Isles. Local real estate agents credited the Russian migration for turning the coastal Miami-area community into what they called Little Moscow."
