Russian fighter jet intercepted over Alaska ADIZ by NORAD forces after ‘unsafe, unprofessional’ interaction

A recent video released by NORAD showed a tense moment when a Russian fighter jet flew too close to a NORAD aircraft over the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone. The incident occurred during a routine intercept of a Russian Tu-95 aircraft. NORAD emphasized the importance of identifying all aircraft in international airspace for national security. The video captured the moment when a Russian Su-35 unexpectedly flew in front of the NORAD fighter jet. Gen. Gregory Guillot condemned the dangerous behavior, stating it was unprofessional and endangered all involved. Despite the incident, NORAD clarified that Russian activity in the ADIZ is common and not considered a threat.
