Four Russian warplanes were intercepted by U.S. Air Force fighter jets off the coast of Alaska on Tuesday. 

Two of the planes flying off the Alaskan coast were Russia’s Tu-95 Bear bomber, an aircraft one hailed as the Soviet Union’s preeminent nuclear bomber. The other planes were two Su-35 Flanker fighter jets, reported Air & Space Forces Magazine. The quartet of Russian warplanes was greeted by 10 U.S. Air Force fighter jets deployed by North American Aerospace Defense Command.
