A third incident of Russian military aircraft flying into
the Alaskan air defense identification zone (ADIZ) has been reported.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command made this known
on Thursday being the third time between August 8 and 10.
A previous report on Tuesday by CNN carried two incidents of
the Russian military aircraft flight into Alaska’s ADIZ
The ADIZ is international airspace adjacent to Alaska that
extends in places more than 100 miles (more than 160 kilometers) from US
territory.
In the interest of national security, the sake of national
security, the United States of America’s military initiates identification
procedures for aircraft in the ADIZ.
The day the third flight occurred has not, however, been
disclosed by NORAD.
A photo of the second incident from the air was distributed
by the US military, showing an F-22 flying within visual range of a Russian
Il-20 aircraft.
