ACADEMY SITREP – CHINESE AND RUSSIAN BOMBERS INTERCEPTED OFF ALASKAN COAST July 25, 2024 | https://lnkd.in/g2ACh7Fk What has Happened: -Last evening, two Russian TU-95 Bear and two Chinese H-6 bombers flew into the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) in international airspace near the Alaskan coast. -These warplanes were intercepted by U.S. and Canadian fighters and marked the first time ever that strategic bombers from both Russia and China operated together near North America. -The Russian and Chinese bombers all took off from a Russian air base and this incident is seen as another example of security cooperation between the two countries. -However, the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) said in its statement that the Russian and Chinese planes didn’t enter U.S. or Canadian airspace and were not seen as a military threat. -NORAD has previously reported that Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaska ADIZ “occurs regularly and is not seen as a threat,” but noted this was the first time Chinese H-6s have flown in the vicinity of Alaska. -Last summer, multiple Russian and Chinese warships conducted exercises around the Aleutian Islands, but never entered the territorial waters of the U.S. -In our Around the World geopolitical report released yesterday, our GIG highlighted the growing partnership that Russia has built with nations including China, and the fact that this relationship in particular was identified as a concern at the recent NATO Summit.
