Not so fast

A U.S. Air Force F-35 Lightning II intercepts a Russian Tu-95 “Bear” strategic bomber over the Bering Sea, April 14, 2025. Multiple F-35s were launched to intercept and monitor Russian aircraft, which remained in international airspace roughly 250 nautical miles from Shemya Island in the western Aleutians. NORAD noted that while this type of Russian activity within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone is routine and not viewed as a threat, it is continuously monitored to safeguard the security of North America.
