US failed to respond to Russia aircraft near Alaska
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[RusOnline] The American military reacted very strangely to the recent maneuvers of strategic bombers of the Russian Aerospace Forces near the US borders, analysts from China say.

In the publication of the Chinese edition of NetEase it is said that Russia has decided to give a decisive response to the provocations of the American military at its borders.

Moscow for a very long time turned a blind eye to the audacious antics of its opponents, but its patience ran out. Several days ago, the Russian Aerospace Forces sortied several Tu-95MS strategic bombers, sending them to the waters of the Bering Sea near the US borders, PolitRussia reports.

The unexpected reaction of the Pentagon to the maneuvers of Russian aircraft off the coast of Alaska raised questions from the Chinese.

According to experts, Washington did nothing to drive the Russians out of their "backyard." It is possible that the American military was taken by surprise, so they simply did not have time to raise their fighters to intercept. “What the world community did not expect at all was the Pentagon's reaction.

After the Russian planes approached the US territory, the US military did not take any retaliatory action, ”the article says. It is noted that the Russian counterattack turned out to be really effective, and the United States experienced a deafening failure. The Pentagon was not ready for such decisive action on the part of the opponent.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation records the growing activity of the strategic aviation of the US Air Force near the borders of the state. It is known that the Russian Armed Forces are currently in a high degree of combat readiness and are strengthening the defenses in the Arctic region, reports RT.

#1  Weakened 'Red State' border border security appears to be a Biden administration theme. Perhaps Hunter has plans to sell Alaska back to the Russians.

#2  Magoo hears "bearing straight" which puts him in mind of moola: he thinks it means Hunter's overseas partners are on their way to the Beverly Hilton, bearing straight-up cashon the barrelhead, earmarked for TBG.

#3  Or a pair of F-22s are 50km behind and 5000m higher. Bears are none the wiser.

#4  ....This right here is some authentic Cold War-era gibberish. On a believability scale of 1-10 -1 being flatly false, 10 being Lincoln-level honest - I give this a minus potato. It likely didn't happen at all.

But along the same lines, it should be mentioned that not long ago, the USAF leadership up there in AK complained that the intercept rate was too high, and they couldn't sustain it. When I was at Langley AFB 85-89, I watched the 48th Fighter Interceptor Squadron there launch on a regular basis, especially when the Havana Express was running. The idea of USAF officers complaining that the bad guys are pushing us on an unsustainable schedule is infuriating.
