Two F-22 stealth fighter jets intercepted a pair of Russian bombers late Monday near Alaska just weeks after another incident required jets to be scrambled.
The Russian Tu-95 “Bear” bombers flew 35 miles off the coast of Alaska, but remained in international airspace, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, better known by its acronym, NORAD, said in a statement.
Last month, a pair of Russian supersonic bombers buzzed the coast of Alaska, which were also intercepted by U.S. Air Force F-22 fighter jets.
In both incidents-- last month and last night-- the Russian aircraft never entered U.S. airspace. The U.S. military routinely flies bombers and reconnaissance aircraft near Russia as well.

The US should use Northrop XP-79B interceptors. Tell the Russians that unfortunately there was a collision due to the Russian pilots not following the "Rules of the Road." So Sorry.
Then bill the Russian government for damage to our plane.
In other news we know why the mayor of Moscow's wife wired $ 3.5 million to Hunter Biden. It isn't, because Hunter is a stud muffin and brought the mayor's wife to a peak of ecstasy. Nor did he pee on her bed with two Russian prostitutes.
No, it was an old Democrat scheme as old as the hills. Put sanctions on Russian officials and then turn a blind eye when those same Russians launder money through the scions of various Democrat noble houses.
Sort of like, when Democrat state legislatures raise taxes on everyone and then turnaround as tax attorneys and assist rich people avoid taxes.
The two scams are similar.

Ocrumbo or whatever it was has been replaced by 3:48. Equally as insightful.
Why use F-22's? F-15's would do better and not expose the F-22's to intelligence collection.
