The North American Aerospace Defense Command, also known as NORAD, says it intercepted two
00:07
Russian and two Chinese bombers flying near Alaska.
00:11
The intercept was carried out by U.S. and Canadian fighter jets.
00:15
NORAD says the bombers remained in international airspace and were not seen as a threat.
00:21
China and Russia have confirmed that they conducted a joint air patrol over the Bering
00:25
Sea which divides Russia and Alaska.
00:28
NORAD says it will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet quote
00:34
presence with presence.
00:37
This was not a surprise to us.
00:38
We closely monitored these aircraft, tracked the aircraft, intercepted the aircraft, which
00:47
demonstrates that our forces are at the ready all the time and we have very good surveillance
00:55
capabilities.
00:56
It's the first time that we've seen these two countries fly together.
00:59
They didn't enter our airspace.
01:03
I think the closest point of approach was about 200 miles off of our coast.
01:11
But this is a thing that we tracked very closely.
01:14
We're able to intercept and if it happens again, if there's any kind of challenge from
01:21
any direction, I have every confidence that NORTHCOM and NORAD will be at the ready and
01:28
will be able to intercept.
01:29
In terms of the relationship between Russia and China, this is a relationship that we
01:37
have been concerned about throughout, mostly because we're concerned about China providing
01:45
support to Russia's illegal and unnecessary war in Ukraine.
01:51
We've seen evidence of that and we would hope that that would cease going forward.
01:58
We'll see what happens and how this relationship continues to develop.
02:02
We will remain focused on protecting the homeland here and again, I applaud the efforts of NORTHCOM
02:07
and our great airmen who are always at the ready.
02:10
As to whether or not our adversaries are testing us at this particular time, they're
02:16
always testing us and that's no surprise to any of us.
02:22
We see activity in the north on a number of occasions and we're always at the ready to
02:28
test.
