The U.S. military dispatched two F-22 stealth fighters late Monday to intercept a pair of Russian bombers near Alaska, according to a Pentagon official.
The official told The Washington Examiner Tuesday the Air Force’s jets visually identified the Russian vehicles as TU-95 “Bear” long-range bombers.
The American jets briefly flew alongside the Russian bombers before the bombers changed course and flew away from the U.S.

Was Paul Manafort in the right seat of one of them and Carter Page in the left?

The US fighters did not violate Russian airspace either. If they want to cruise some longe range bombers off the coast of Alaska we can cruise some fighters as well.

TIL the TU95 has contra-rotating propellers. I always wondered why they looked funky.

This isn't something out of the norm.

This happens a lot especially during summer months. Russians ruin our fishing season.

Putin doesn't like fat little Kim stealing all of the American Enemy headlines.

As Carlos Marcello said of EWE, the problem with politicians is they don't stay bought.

This has been going on awhile. The F-102 was retired in 1979.
