Two Russian strategic bombers, accompanied by two fighter jets, flew over the waters of the Bering Sea off the coast of Alaska, USA!
On February 10, the Avia.pro website reported that the Russian Ministry of Defense announced to the outside world that two Tu-95MS strategic bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces' long-range aviation flew in the airspace close to the west coast of Alaska in the United States, which lasted more than seven hours. During the flight, the Russian Air Force Su-30SM aircraft carried out fighter escort.
The Tu-95MS bomber is one of the main bombers of the Russian army, which can carry a single nuclear warhead and can also carry 16 RK-55 cruise missiles, which has a powerful strike capability. The Russian army suddenly sent two Tu-95MS to fly over the waters of the Bering Sea near the continental United States, which aroused great public attention and was tracked and reported by many media.
On February 10, Russia's TASS news agency reported that the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) said that four Russian military aircraft flew next to the continental United States on February 9, and the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) tracked and monitored the North American Air Defense Command, which was established by the United States and Canada on May 12, 1958, to provide early warning of ballistic missile launches and prevent aircraft and cruise missiles from invading the airspace of the United States and Canada.
Recently, the relationship between the United States and Russia has continued to be tense, especially after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States has given strong support to Ukraine, sent tens of billions of dollars of weapons and equipment, and also sent special forces to train Ukrainian soldiers. Not long ago, an Il-76 transport plane of the Russian army was shot down by a US-made Patriot missile, resulting in the death of all the personnel on board, including three Russian escort officers and six crew members.
Of course, Russia can't swallow this breath, and it is reasonable for Russia to send bombers to the door to take the initiative to cause trouble for the United States. This round of retaliation by the Russian army against the United States is very intensive and powerful, and Russian military planes have approached the US mainland three times in the past four days. On February 7, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that two Tu-95MS strategic nuclear bombers flew over the neutral waters of the Bering Sea and the Chukchi Sea near the United States. On 6 February, the Russian Ministry of Defense announced that two Tu-160 strategic nuclear bombers flew over the neutral waters of the Arctic Ocean and the Laptev Sea near the United States.
Both the Tu-160 and Tu-95MS strategic bombers are the main fighters of the long-range aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces and form the air component of the Russian triad of nuclear strike forces, which can launch both nuclear bombs and conventional and cruise missiles. The fact that these bombers have flexed their muscles in the United States is to show the United States that it is taking a tough stand.
It is worth noting that Russia not only counterattacked the United States this time, but also knocked Japan by the way. On 9 February, a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance plane suddenly flew to the west coast of Japan, flew along the east coast of Hokkaido and Honshu over the neutral waters of the Sea of Japan, and flew to the Noto Peninsula in the middle of it, frightening Japanese fighters to take off urgently to intercept the Russian reconnaissance plane.
