In recent news, American and Russian fighter jets had a tense encounter in the sky when two Tu-95MS nuclear bombers sent by Putin flew near the coast of Alaska. This incident occurred amidst rising tensions between the two countries, as the US announced a $61 billion war aid package to Ukraine, which included major arms supplies. The Russian defense minister openly admitted that their strategic bombers were flying near Alaska for 11 hours, crossing over the Bering Sea. Moscow also disclosed that their mission was monitored by fighter jets from foreign countries at certain points.
It's still uncertain which other country had sent their aircraft to observe the Russian mission, but Canada would be the closest Western country in proximity. However, recently released video footage captured the moment when American and Russian pilots came face to face during the flight. The two fighter jets were dangerously close to each other, a nerve-wracking sight for viewers. The footage, taken from the Russian Defense Ministry, showed a warplane from the Alaska Air National Guard, a unit of the United States Air Force, with the letters AK and the number 304 marked on its tail fin.
The Russian government has since released a statement claiming that all their flights are conducted following international rules of airspace usage. They further stated that the two Tu-95MS bombers were on a scheduled flight over neutral waters in the Bering Sea, close to the western coast of Alaska. However, this encounter between American and Russian fighter jets raises concerns about the safety and security of the airspace in this region.

In a tragic incident, an ice cream truck hit a large group of schoolchildren after the driver forgot to engage the handbrake. These are just a few examples of news stories that have been trending recently.
The Tu-95 fleet is a crucial part of Russia's nuclear arsenal, but it has also been used to launch devastating conventional missile strikes, causing extensive damage in Ukraine. These Soviet-era planes have been in service for over 70 years and continue to play a significant role in the Russian nuclear force. Their recent flight near Alaska has once again brought attention to the tense relationship between the US and Russia and their military capabilities. Only time will tell how this situation will develop further.
