US Air Force jets intercept 2 Russian bombers off Alaska coast
Seems they are getting testy with the whole Iran deal teetering on collapse.

*EDIT for THOUGHT: As several people are pointing out, it may be fairly routine, even though the article states its the first time that they're flying this close in a year. More noteworthy though, is the media trying to hype it up (Several sources reporting on this). I think its important to notice what the media is trying to do to churn this shit into more of a mess. Its typical for the media... but important for us to see what they're doing with all current events. Just another thought ;)

----------------------------------------------------

A pair of U.S. Air Force stealth fighter jets intercepted two Russian nuclear-capable bombers Friday morning off the coast of Alaska, a spokesman for NORAD (North American Aeorospace Defense Command) told Fox News.

The approach by the two Tupolev Tu-95 Russian "Bear" aircraft marked the first time in just over a year that Russian bombers had flown that close to U.S. territory.

Two separate defense officials reached by Fox News said the Russian bombers came within 55 miles of Alaska’s west coast. The officials requested anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss that portion of the intercept.

The bombers entered a U.S. air-defense identification zone (ADIZ), defined as airspace extending approximately 200 miles from the nation's coastline, though mainly composed of international airspace.

What they need to do is just let them keep flying....

Just stand off and let them fly...

Two bombers can't do much anyway and no way are there nukes on board.

They gotta run out of fuel eventually. ;-)

Or just wait until one of those beasts has a mechanical failure and need a place to land.... welcome to Missouri!

Nah, the Kremlin likes to test us but no way in hell would they authorize a couple of bombers to actually enter our airspace.

Some in Russian military are itching to start a war with US. Putin has had to purge his Generals 3 times in the last 2 years. Not sure he has any control over theses provocative acts by elements within the military. If it were down to him I think he would stop them.

Happens every day we do it to and a heck of a lot more than they do, so what. This cat and mouse has been going on for a long time!

TU-95 is sofaking loud you don't need an alert or radar, you'll hear it coming!

They have done some prop mods to some of them to quiet them down but even with the mod they are still loud! Not bad performance for a turboprop as it is not much slower than our B-52's!

55 miles west of Alaska IS Russia.

[link to www.alaskacenters.gov (secure)]

How close is Alaska to Russia?

Answer
The narrowest distance between mainland Russia and mainland Alaska is approximately 55 miles.

No news here but what many have already mentioned, fear mongering from the press.

Oh, I see what you did there... trying to make me look stupit. Or maybe you are just a septic...

So tell me this mister smirty pant, why would Russia make bombers that could only fly as far as the cost(sic) of Alaska?

You a Russian shill boy?

Well let me tell you somthin' from an old boy from Missoura. We have bombers based her in Missouri that can go all the way over ther to Russia. If your bombers caint do the same than I say you are phucked.

They never even posted any pictures or video footage.

Here are some Russian bombers intercepted near Scotland earlier this year (January).
