Gli F-22 del NORAD intercettano una formazione di 'curiosi' russi nei pressi dell'Alaska ...

Quote

North American Aerospace Defense Command F-22s intercepted a Russian air package comprised of two Tu-95 Bear bombers, two Su-35 Flankers, and supported by an A-50 Mainstay Airborne Warning and Control aircraft on Oct. 19, U.S. Northern Command said.
The Russian aircraft “loitered” inside the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ, for about 90 minutes and came “within 30 nautical miles of Alaskan shores,” NORTHCOM reported on Oct. 20. 
None of the Russian aircraft “entered United States or Canadian sovereign airspace.”

“MiG-31 interceptors and Su-35 fighters from the Air Defense Forces on duty in the Eastern Military District escorted two U.S. Air Force B-1B strategic bombers over the Bering Sea,” the ministry wrote in a Russian-language caption that accompanied footage of the intercept on YouTube.
Once the American bombers were detected, the Russian tails took flight to meet them, the caption explained. 
The aircraft headed back to their “home airfield” after the B-1s turned away from the Russian border.

Ormai non è più questione di curiosità ... la Cina continua, imperterrita, le violazioni all'ADIZ di Taiwan ...

Quote

Since mid-September of last year, Beijing has ratcheted up its gray-zone tactics by regularly sending planes into Taiwan’s ADIZ, with most instances occurring in the southwest corner of the zone and consisting of one to three planes. 
An ADIZ is an area that extends beyond a country’s air space where air traffic controllers ask incoming aircraft to identify themselves.
Gray zone tactics are defined as “an effort or series of efforts beyond steady-state deterrence and assurance that attempts to achieve one’s security objectives without resort to direct and sizable use of force.” 
The Chinese have used flights into the ADIZ, amphibious landing exercises, cyberattacks, naval patrols, and diplomatic isolation in attempts to sap Taiwan’s will to resist.

A total of 10 Chinese military planes flew into Taiwan’s air defense identification zone (ADIZ) on Monday (March 29), marking the 17th such incursion this month.
Four People’s Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Shenyang J-16 fighter planes, four Chengdu J-10 fighter jets, and one Shaanxi KJ-500 early warning and control aircraft entered the southwest corner of the ADIZ, according to Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense (MND). 
In addition, a Shaanxi Y-8 anti-submarine warfare plane buzzed the southwest and southeast corners of the identification zone.
In response, Taiwan scrambled planes, issued radio warnings, and deployed air defense missile systems to track the PLAAF planes.

La durata della presenza russa nello spazio aereo nei pressi dell'Alaska è in continua crescita ...

Quote

The Russian military is spending “hours” in airspace near Alaska when it performs flyovers in the region, the head of North American Aerospace Defense Command said on Wednesday.
Air Force Gen. Glen VanHerck, who also leads U.S. Northern Command, attributed Russia’s expanding activities in the Arctic region to the current great power competition dynamic.
“We’re back in the peer competition,” he said during a Defense Writers Group discussion. 
“Clearly, Russia is trying to reassert on a global stage their influence and their capabilities. That’s exactly what’s going on. It’s great power competition,” VanHerck said when asked why Russia is performing more flights near Alaska.
“The difference between the past and now is the intercepts are more complex – multi-axis, multi-platforms and often times they’ll enter the [air defense identification zone] and stay for hours,” he added. 
“That would be the significant difference. But why this is ongoing? It is playing out as the peer competition that we’ve talked about.”

The Coast Guard Administration (CGA) said Thursday (April 1) it would strengthen defenses around the disputed South China Sea islands after Chinese drones were spotted near the Dongsha Islands (東沙群島, Pratas Islands).
The Dongsha Islands, located 450 kilometers southwest of Kaohsiung, and Taiping Island in the Spratlys, 1,500 km from Kaohsiung, are held by Taiwan.
However, other countries in the region, including China, have laid claims to the territories.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) conducted an exercise near the island of Taiwan on Monday with the largest number of warplanes ever recorded, which could be a rehearsal of a reunification-by-force operation, again sending a clear warning to Taiwan secessionists and the US that have been making provocative moves to escalate tensions in the region, Chinese mainland experts said on Tuesday.
A US aircraft carrier exited the South China Sea via waters south of the island of Taiwan also on Monday, a region close to the PLA warplane exercise. 
And analysts said the PLA displayed the capability of driving away foreign forces interfering in the Taiwan question.

The exercise conducted by the PLA served as a warning to Taiwan secessionists and the US after the two had made a series of provocative moves, mainland analysts said.

Proprio sotto il loro naso ...

A Russian Navy surveillance ship has spent the last several days lingering off the coast of the western coast of Hawaii, USNI News has learned.
The Russian ship has operated just outside U.S. territorial waters, Navy officials confirmed to USNI News on Tuesday.
“U.S. Pacific Fleet is aware of the Russian vessel operating in international waters in the vicinity of Hawaii and will continue to track it through the duration of its time here,” U.S. Pacific Fleet spokesman Capt. John Gay said in a statement to USNI News.
“Through maritime patrol aircraft, surface ships and joint capabilities, we can closely monitor all vessels in the Indo-Pacific area of operations.”
A defense official told USNI News that the ship had been operating within the bounds of international law and was not a hazard to navigation. 
The ship has not been broadcasting an automatic identification system (AIS) signal, officials confirmed to USNI News.
U.S. Pacific Fleet did not provide additional details about the Russian ship, but USNI News understands the vessel is the Russian Navy Vishnya-class auxiliary general intelligence (AGI) ship Kareliya (SSV-535).

Confrontando gli altri profili di volo, questa volta si son tenuti parecchio più stretti sull'isola.

Interessante il "lecturing" storico via radio. Ma il più divertente fu il "meow" di qualche tempo fa quando un aereo da sorveglianza era in fitto e monotono scambio radio con le basi cinesi.

https://youtu.be/OaKbZW0pqkM

Meow che pare sia usato dai piloti civili in Asia quando qualcuno occupa le frequenze per discussioni.
