'#WeHaveTheWatch,' the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) tweeted.
Russia has flown nuclear-capable bombers and fighter jets off the coast of Alaska twice in two days, drawing a response from the U.S. Air Force.
And once again, the North American Aerospace Defence Command put out a statement that also noted the presence of Russian Su-35 fighter jets. "Two pairs of F-22 fighter jets, each with an E-3 intercepted Tu-95 bombers Su-35 fighter jets entering the Alaskan ADIZ May 21. The bombers entered the ADIZ and were intercepted by two F-22s, exited and then re-entered the Alaskan ADIZ accompanied by two Su-35 fighter jets," a tweet from NORAD's official account read.
In yesterday's series of tweets, NORAD cited commander Air Force General Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy as saying,"Our ability to deter and defeat threats to our citizens and vital infrastructure starts with detecting, tracking, and positively identifying aircraft our airspace. We are on alert 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year."
