Future Battlespace Emerges as F-35 Variants, F-22 Train Together

Future Battlespace Emerges as F-35 Variants, F-22 Train Together The semi-annual Air Force exercise Red Flag marked a historic milestone in July when three different variations of U.S. fifth-generation fighter aircraft trained together, offering insights into what aerial warfare may look like in the not-so-distant future. 

Held at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada, the exercise featured for the first time both the Air Force and Marine Corps variants of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, with F-35Bs from Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 211 and F-35As from the Air Force’s 58th Fighter Squadron converging to train with aircraft from more than 50 units across the Defense Department, including the Air Force’s other 5th-generation fighter, the F-22 Raptor.

Good Morning America

American planes intercepted two Russian TU-95 bombers accompanied by two SU-35 fighters that flew close to the Alaska coast Tuesday night, according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD). 

 A U.S. official said the Russian aircraft had flown within 50 nautical miles of the Alaska coastline -- American territorial airspace begins 12 nautical miles from shore. The intercept occurred around 5 p.m. local time said Capt. Scott Miller, a NORAD spokesman.

 Two Russian TU-95 "Bear" bombers were accompanied by two SU-35 "Flanker" fighter aircraft as they entered the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) that stretches 200 miles from the U.S. coastline. 

The U.S. requires aircraft to identify themselves when they enter the Alaska ADIZ. The Russian aircraft were always in international airspace. A U.S. official said the Russian aircraft had come as close as 50 miles to the Alaska coastline before turning back. What to know about those Russian flights close to Alaska Russian aircraft fly close to Alaska for 4th time in 4 days Russian bombers fly close to Alaska again 

 The four Russian aircraft were intercepted by two F-22 Raptor fighters that were already airborne on a previously scheduled flight. Captain Miller described the interaction with the Russian aircraft as "professional" as has historically been the case in encounters with Russian military aircraft off of Alaska.

 NORAD sortied stealth fighters and a radar plane 

 For two days in a row starting on April 17, 2017, Russian air force Tu-95 Bear bombers flew near Alaska’s air space. 

 On April 17, the U.S. Air Force scrambled two F-22 Raptor stealth jets, one E-3 Sentry Airborne Early Warning aircraft and a KC-135 tanker to intercept two nuclear-capable Bears flying roughly 100 miles southwest of Kodiak. 

 The stealth jets took off from Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson and intercepted the Russian aircraft inside the local Air Defense Identification Zone. ADIZs may extend beyond a country’s territory to give the country more time to respond to possible hostile aircraft. In fact, any aircraft flying inside these zones without authorization may be identified as a threat and treated as an enemy aircraft, leading to an interception and visual identification by fighter aircraft. 

 The F-22 escorted the Tu-95s for at least 12 minutes before the Russian bombers headed back. On the following night — that is to say few hours after the first “visit” — the Bears flew again inside the ADIZ. But this time, the Air Force opted not to scramble fighter jets, and instead sent an E-3.

Russian bombers fly near Alaska

A pair of Russian nuclear-capable bombers flew near Alaska Monday night, two U.S. officials told Fox News, coming as close as 100 miles from Kodiak Island.

The two Russian Tu-95 “Bear” bombers flew roughly 280 miles southwest of Elmendorf Air Force Base, within the Air Defense Identification Zone of the United States. 

The U.S. Air Force scrambled two F-22 stealth fighter jets and an E-3 airborne early warning plane to intercept the Russian bombers. The American jets flew alongside the Russian bombers for 12 minutes, before the Russian bombers reversed course and headed back to their base in eastern Russia.
