NATO forces sent jets to escort two Russian long-range Air Force bombers patrolling neutral skies near Alaska on Wednesday, news agencies quoted the Defense Ministry as saying.
The military has resumed its Cold War practice of flying regular patrols far beyond its borders and has sent aircraft over U.S. naval aircraft carriers.
Accompanied by two Il-78 refueling tankers, the two Tu-95 bombers flew for 15 hours over the Arctic and Pacific oceans, ministry spokesman Alexander Drobyshevsky said, Interfax reported.
