In this Monday, March 9, 2020, file photo released by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), a Russian Tu-142 maritime reconnaissance aircraft, top right, is intercepted near the Alaska coastline. A similar incursion by two Russian maritime patrol aircraft tested the U.S. and Canadian air defense zone in early July 2022, in a show of force in the midst of Moscow's military operation in Ukraine and nuclear saber-rattling, the commander of the Northern Command said on July 22. The U.S.-Canadian air defense command is playing down two recent Russian military encounters near Alaska as non-threatening — despite one intrusion that included nuclear-capable bombers. The North American Aerospace Defense command delayed releasing details on the two separate incidents for two days, even though multiple U.S. fighter jets and support aircraft were used to intercept and escort the Tu-95 bombers and Su-35 jets off the Alaskan coast on May 11.
