„Solche Aktivitäten finden regelmäßig statt“: Russische Bomber vor Alaska gesichtet – US-Kampfjets steigen auf 20.02.2026
On [Date of Article], the North American Aerospace Defense Command (Norad) scrambled multiple aircraft to intercept five Russian planes that entered the U.S. Air Defense Identification Zone off the coast of Alaska. The Russian aircraft, identified as two Tu-95 bombers, two Su-35 fighter jets, and one A-50 reconnaissance plane, were escorted out of the zone by U.S. and potentially Canadian jets, including F-16s, F-35s, KC-135 tankers, and an E-3 Awacs. Norad stated that these incursions by Russian aircraft into the zone are regular occurrences and are not considered a threat, though military experts suggest such actions are often used to test a nation's defenses. The Air Defense Identification Zone is a buffer area outside sovereign airspace where all aircraft must identify themselves for national security.
