Russian jet comes within 50 feet of US fighter off coast of Alaska

The video launched by NORAD was taken from a digital camera mounted within the cover of the F-16 plane offering a view of what the pilot was seeing because the fighter flew close to one of many Russian bombers.

All of a sudden one of many Russian jets entered the sector of view at a excessive fee of pace coming at what NORAD stated was inside 50 ft of the American airplane’s nostril rolling to 1 facet because it flew previous.

The video then confirmed the F-16’s nostril wobbling from left to proper, both because the American fighter pilot flew by way of the Russian plane’s wake or the pilot maintained management of the plane after the shut encounter.

“The conduct of 1 Russian Su-35 was unsafe, unprofessional, and endangered all – not what you’d see in knowledgeable air power,” stated Gen. Gregory Guillot, NORAD’s high commander, in a remark posted on X.

A NORAD assertion in regards to the intercept that day didn’t present any indication that NORAD plane had intercepted the Russian planes solely detailing that it had “detected and tracked 4 Russian army plane working within the Alaska Air Protection Identification Zone (ADIZ).”

“The Russian plane remained in worldwide airspace and didn’t enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace,” stated the discharge. “This Russian exercise within the Alaska ADIZ happens often and isn’t seen as a menace.”

The shut encounter capped two weeks of incidents the place NORAD stated it had detected and tracked the plane as they flew by way of the ADIZ.
