The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected two Russian maritime patrol aircraft flying within the Alaskan and Canadian Air Defense Identification Zones (ADIZ) on Sunday, the day before a three-day military drill operation.
The two Russian aircraft stayed in international airspace and didn’t enter American nor Canadian sovereign airspace, according to officials.
