Flights This Week “Not Seen As A Threat”
Russian military aircraft flew through the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) again this week on February 18-19 but the North American Aerospace Defense Command – NORAD – said these types of flights “occur regularly and are not seen as a threat.” NORAD said the aircraft were detected and tracked in international airspace, and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace.
