Russian Su-35 fighters flew for the first time May 4 near the US borders - off the coast of Alaska.
This is reported by Fox News, citing sources.
The fighters accompanied the Russian Tu-95 rocket-carrying bombers. Military aircraft flew to the coast of Alaska at a distance of 80 km in the vicinity of the village of Chariot on the shore of the Chukchi Sea. Because of this, the American command decided to raise two American F-22 fighters to escort Russian military aircraft.
It is reported that Russian aircraft were not armed and throughout the flight remained in the international airspace.
"I see that these Kremlin sheep decided to recall the scoop and provoke. By the way, no one knows, but there is a barrack interceptor in the Americans?
Or will they just knock the Turks down? "- commented on the page in Facebook non-factional People's Deputy Borislav Bereza.
Users of the network reacted to the antics of the Kremlin with caustic commentaries.
As reported by the "Observer", earlier the US Air Force intercepted Russian Tu-95 bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons, which approached the US border off the coast of Alaska.
