Russian bombers & jets intercepted amid routine flight off Alaska coast, US media cries provocation

‘The group of “Bear” bombers and Su-35 jets intercepted by US Air Force off the coast of Alaska was making a “routine flight over international Pacific waters,” Russian Defense Ministry said. This didn’t stop US media from making headlines out of the incident.
“On May 4, 2017, Russian long-haul strategic Tu-95MS bombers and multirole Su-35S fighters performed a routine flight over neutral Pacific waters along the Aleutian Islands,” the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The Russian pilots were performing one of the routine long-haul flights over international waters which, apart from the Pacific, are also carried out over the Atlantic and the Arctic Oceans, and the Black Sea. At no time do these flights violate any nation’s borders or international rules, the ministry said.’
