Russian Nuclear-Capable Bombers Intercepted Near West Coast In Second U.S. Air Defense Zone Intrusion In Two Weeks
BY: – July 6, 2012 8:13 pm
Two Russian strategic nuclear bombers entered the U.S. air defense zone near the Pacific coast on Wednesday and were met by U.S. interceptor jets, defense officials told the Free Beacon.
It was the second time Moscow dispatched nuclear-capable bombers into the 200-mile zone surrounding U.S. territory in the past two weeks.
An earlier intrusion by two Tu-95 Bear H bombers took place near Alaska as part of arctic war games that a Russian military spokesman said included simulated attacks on “enemy” air defenses and strategic facilities.Continued below.

A defense official said the Pacific coast intrusion came close to the U.S. coast but did not enter the 12-mile area that the U.S. military considers sovereign airspace.
The bomber flights near the Pacific and earlier flights near Alaska appear to be signs Moscow is practicing the targeting of its long-range air-launched cruise missiles on two strategic missile defense sites, one at Fort Greely, Alaska and a second site at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif.
In May, Russian Gen. Nikolai Makarov, the chief of the Russian General Staff, said during a Moscow conference that because missile defense systems are destabilizing, “A decision on pre-emptive use of the attack weapons available will be made when the situation worsens.” The comments highlighted Russian opposition to planned deployments of U.S. missile defense interceptors and sensors in Europe.
The U.S. defense official called the latest Bear H incident near the U.S. West Coast “Putin’s Fourth of July Bear greeting to Obama.”
Retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Thomas McInerney, a former Alaska commander for the North American Aerospace Defense Command, said the latest Bear H intrusion appears to be Russian military testing.
“It’s becoming very obvious that Putin is testing Obama and his national security team,” McInerney told the Free Beacon. “These long-range aviation excursions are duplicating exercises I experienced during the height of the Cold War when I command the Alaska NORAD region.
McInerney said the Bear H flights are an effort by the Russians to challenge U.S. resolve, something he noted is “somewhat surprising as Obama is about to make a unilateral reduction of our nuclear forces as well as major reductions in our air defense forces.”
“Actions by Russia in Syria and Iran demonstrate that Cold War strategy may be resurrected,” he said.
“These are not good indications of future U.S. Russian relations.”
Pentagon spokesman Capt. John Kirby said the incident occurred July 4. He said the “out-of-area patrol by two Russian long range bombers … entered the outer [Air Defense Identification Zone]” and the bombers “were visually identified by NORAD fighters.”
Kirby said the bombers did not enter “sovereign airspace.” He declined to identify the specific distance the aircraft flew from the United States due to operational security concerns. He also declined to identify the types of aircraft used to intercept the bombers.
In last month’s intercept of two Russian Tu-95 bombers, U.S. F-15s and Canadian CF-18s were used. The most likely aircraft used in Wednesday’s intercept were U.S. F-15 jets based at Elmendorf Air Force Base, Alaska.
Kirby and U.S. Northern Command spokesmen, apparently in line with the Obama administration’s conciliatory reset policy toward Russia, sought to play down both bomber intrusions.
The Pentagon spokesman said the latest Pacific intrusion was “assessed as another training activity.”
Rather than using traditional military terminology common during the Cold War to describe the meeting of the violating bombers as an “intercept,” Kirby said that the bombers were “visually identified” by jets described only as joint U.S.-Canadian North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) jets.

Testing the enemy’s defenses disguised as military exercises.
Hello 2 days ago Before It’s News announced Russian and American Empire troops training together in the U.S.
You are starting to sound like the politicians.
Maybe to confuse the simple minded?
The article is the only source for this claim. Not a single local or military paper? Not a single military blogger?
There is absolutely no reason to rekindle the cold war except US obstinence and demand to have full spectrum dominance. Both Russia and China will not allow that to occur. The US can either accept that fact and work around it or ignore it and suffer the ignominy of being thwarted in its designs. Why is the US pressing missiles on Russia’s doorstep? Why is it goading China with a buildup of its Pacific fleet? The US is basically bankrupt or will be if China pulls its financing. Yet the American government is busy attempting to surround China with enemies. What a bunch of fools run Washington!
That might be true if the fools in Washington were actually the ones running it.
I lied, I have one more RANT!
You would think that for once our Media would print Facts.
As the U.S. through Israeli AIRPAC tells the Populous that IRAN “MIGHT” be building a BOMB. What is kept low profile is that as a Member of the IAEA Iran can Legally Enrich all the Uranium they want. Because the U.S. through Israel doesn’t TRUST Iran, Iran said.. OK Bush, You Supply us what is needed for out Nuclear Energy. Bush denied that request. At the behest of Israeli controlled POLITICS.
Forgotten Headlines:
Bush Blocked Iran Nuke Deal
http://www.democraticunderground.com/101630773
A former top Iranian negotiator says Iran offered the West a deal in 2005 that would have eliminated the possibility of Iran developing a nuclear bomb, but the plan was blocked by hardliners in George W. Bush’s administration who rejected any right of Iran to process uranium, Gareth Porter reports for Inter Press Service.
What is so pathetic is that Israel who ISN’T a member of the IAEA, Refuses to be Inspected and is NOW Arming German bought Sub’s with Nuclear Warheads. This is A-OK as a NON-MEMBER (One who isn’t Regulated)
But whether it is assassinating Scientist’s, boarding ships at sea in International Waters and murdering crew members and another U.S. Citizen as if the U.S.S. liberty was not enough in Attacking the United States (Military) Israel continues as a Non-Member and embedded AIRPAC Lobbyist’s continues to walk on all crimes. Israeli’s daily do to those in Gaza and Palestine what Hitler did to them and it’s 100% Legal and your Tax Dollars pay for it.
If Obama had BALLS, He would say.. Mr. Netenyahu, “TEAR DOWN THIS WALL!” to end the tension in the entire Middle East. But no, This will never happen. A blank check has been given to Israel to enforce their Prison Camp’s and deny Food and Materials for basic life. Remember “Spices” for food are Explosives so can’t be allowed.
No, This is not anti-Semetic, These are facts and when you expose these facts your hated. Israeli meet in mass protests at what their Government is doing. Do you see this in OUR HEADLINES? No, Who controls our media?
I believe that if Israel wants the Muslim World to be honest that Israel should put it’s “Cards” on the table too. Open Your Sites up to Inspections, Join the IAEA and have Pakistan and India follow suit too.
But PROFIT is in WAR. It only hurts when it is your child dying for what could have been done with agreements that are agreeable in the first place. I often wonder if Hillary wears an Ear Mic and is instructed by AIRPAC directly in all these useless meetings where DEMANDS are made. The U.S. is a Bully in the World and people aren’t talking about Obama’s EARS either.
Only idiots would vote for a muslim president. Elect a regular black man born in the USA next time!!!
palestine will never get any land. It doesnt belong to them – it belongs to Gods people – the Jews!!! When all of islam goes down fighting and losing – the stupid people of the world will see that its Gods land and God decides who gets it!!!! God made a covenant with Abraham. The Bible is Truth and all else is a lie!!! And the Jews will be getting the rest of their land back – in the near future – when islam drops dead!!!
There is no knowledge of God , Jesus, or the Bible – in the land…
Anonymous you forget that the whole land was named Palestine back in the old testament and Israel was the name of God’s chosen people, not the land. You also forget that Gos chose to disperse His chosen people to the four corners of the earth. Now the Zionists think they have the right to dispute God’s will and gather the Jews back to Palestine.
@ Maj. wiil: In your first rant, you forgot to mention one important fact. The only people actually going to prison in this country for selling drugs are the ones NOT selling drugs for the GOVERNMENT. Just thought I’d point that out.
@ Archie 1954: Exactly right. These Judaizing Christians are some of the most Biblically ignorant people around. They either don’t know what the Bible says, or don’t care. There are dozens of Scriptures pointing to the fact that the Jews, because of their unfaithfulness, are no longer God’s chosen people. Duet.9:4-7, Deut.11:26-28, Ps.81:15, 2Kings 23:27 are just a few of the numerous examples. Jesus himself proclaimed: “Therefore say I unto you, the kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof.” Matt. 21:43 KJV. He was speaking of those who follow Him.
pssst! the cold war never ended.

I could not agree more with all that you have said and anyone that has still a unbiased Brain will recognize or make sense of your written Words.

You better read the Bible a bit more and not the Talmud.
Oh what do I hear you say? You read the Talmud? Perhaps then you are one of them?
The Jew is a Nomad he has never formed or found a Nation only like a Parasite settled somewhere amongst the Goy to exploit them ruining their Economy, once done,they Exodus like a Rat leaving a sinking ship moving on to his next Victim.
I elected a foreign born muslim commi for President, and all I got was this stupid crater that used to be called California.
HDThoreau,
You should be pistol whipped!
I bet if we shot down one of their planes they would take notice!
Nobody reads the whole story from the source, they said they have intercepted over 50 of these types of flights over the last 5 years in training exercises. Calm down.
