The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) intercepted two Russian and two Chinese bombers flying near Alaska Wednesday in what a US defense official said was the first time the two countries have been intercepted while operating together. The bombers remained in international airspace in Alaska’s Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ) and were “not seen as a threat,” according to a statement from NORAD. The US and Canada, which together comprise NORAD, intercepted the Russian TU-95 Bear and Chinese H-6 bombers. The aircraft did not enter US or Canadian sovereign airspace, NORAD said. The intercept was carried out by US F-16 and F-35 fighter jets, as well as Canadian CF-18 fighter jets, according to the defense official. Support aircraft were also part of the intercept, the official said.

USA: "we have evidence that China is sending weapons to help Russia fight Ukraine" Zelensky: "I talked to Xi. He assured me they were not spending weapons to Russia" USA:..."so, we have evidence that China is sending weapons to help Russia fight Ukraine"
