Russian Aircraft have been making more incursions into US airspace since Dec. 13 and Nov. 12, 2014, and Feb. 12, 2013.
In 2013, F-15s were scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Another time it was F-22s that were scrambled to greet the wandering Russians.
Back then, the planes were antiquated Tupolev Tu-95 bears, propeller driven bombers first developed in the early 1950’s.
Once when they were intercepted, Capt. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command explained “They followed all the protocols, and it was a very professional encounter on both sides. There was nothing that they were doing that was contrary to international law.”
This past fourth of July, two more Tu-95s greeted United States pilots with a message according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command: “Good morning, American pilots. We are here to greet you on your Fourth of July Independence Day.”

Let’s get this piece of truth straight. A Russian jet flew to California from Russia, then flew half way across America. Wonder where he gassed up at?
It’s a double dog dare…
more repuke bs.
Maybe they’ll bomb some of the ISIS strongholds!
Never happened
I just took this screen shot of active flights over the US right now and this is 1 of 10 that do not show a call sign, not really anything new people…!
the US and Russia has been for decades, working together…even in the cold war we shared a research camp in Antarctica with the, then [USSR] and shared numerous treaties and pacts dealing with military alliances and trade agreements. Smoke and mirrors.
Matt Daken wouldn’t work…china and the soviet union have stated numerous times they could attack america but never occupy due to the 2nd amendment and the shear numbers of gun owners in america. Also, emp wouldn’t help much with many of our inland missile bases protected from such and our navy war vessels are always on stand by to launch counter strikes. There will never be an attack on american soil by a super power for the reasons given.
Awesome! Maybe they will do us a favor by cleaning up what voters cannot!
