Russian military aircraft detected off of Alaska defense zone, NORAD says

The U.S. military detected and tracked Russian military aircraft that entered the Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) off Alaska on Monday, which extends 150 miles from U.S. territory. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) stated that this Russian activity occurs regularly and does not pose a threat, emphasizing that there was no need for an intercept as the aircraft remained in the ADIZ without entering U.S. or Canadian airspace. U.S. territorial airspace begins 12 nautical miles from the coastline, reinforcing the operational boundaries in the region.
