Russian military aircraft were recently detected flying in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) on two separate occasions, as reported by the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). NORAD emphasized that such activity is not uncommon and is not considered a threat to national security.
During both incidents, the Russian aircraft were identified and monitored by NORAD but did not breach American or Canadian sovereign airspace, remaining within international airspace boundaries.
