Military officials have released new video footage of a recent encounter between a Russian fighter jet and a U.S. Air Force F-16 near Alaska. The video, released on Monday, shows the Russian plane swiftly passing by the U.S. jet, coming within feet of the aircraft.
This incident occurred on September 23, with the U.S. pilot responding under the direction of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). This release follows a series of Russian activities in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, just outside U.S. sovereign airspace.
