Again …
Russian military aircraft, in furtherance of a protracted and worsening global trend of aerial belligerence, have again breached the U.S. Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) off the coast of Alaska. The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)—a joint U.S.-Canadian organization tasked with monitoring North American airspace and safeguarding the sovereign interests of both the United States and Canada—reported on 14 August that it had detected four Russian military aircraft of an unspecified type within the ADIZ and tracked such through the late hours of 13 August into the wee hours of 14 August—Alaska Daylight Time (Zulu -8).
