Defense officials say Putin is testing U.S. command and control systems
EXCERPTS:
Russian strategic nuclear bombers have flown into northwestern U.S. air defense identification zones at least sixteen times over the past ten days, according to Pentagon officials.
The incursions by Tu-95 Russian Bear H bombers are unprecedented, Defense experts say, leading some to believe that Russia is testing U.S. air defenses.
As reported by Bill Gertz of The Washington Free Beacon, The flights, which have also included a Russian intelligence-gathering jet flying near Alaska, were detected by the U.S. Northern Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), and have prompted the scrambling of U.S. jet fighters in several cases.
Amid a large strategic build up of nuclear forces, Russia has, in recent weeks, flown bombers closer to the U.S. than ever before since the fall of the Soviet Empire.
On June 9th, U.S. F-15s and F-22s intercepted Russian bombers just 50 miles off the California coastline.
