Warships from a joint China–Russia naval operation buzzed the coast of Alaska last week in what has been described as the biggest combined Russian–Chinese battle group to ever approach U.S. shores.

Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) said in an Aug. 5 statement that 11 Russian and Chinese warships operating together got close to the coast of Alaska, in what the lawmaker called “yet another reminder that we have entered a new era of authoritarian aggression led by the dictators of Beijing and Moscow.”
