Russian Air Force Jet Displaying No Callsign Enters California

Russian Aircraft have been making more incursions into US airspace since Dec. 13 and Nov. 12, 2014, and Feb. 12, 2013.

In 2013, F-15s were scrambled to intercept the aircraft. Another time it was F-22s that were scrambled to greet the wandering Russians.

Back then, the planes were antiquated Tupolev Tu-95 bears, propeller driven bombers first developed in the early 1950’s.
Once when they were intercepted, Capt. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for the North American Aerospace Defense Command explained “They followed all the protocols, and it was a very professional encounter on both sides. There was nothing that they were doing that was contrary to international law.”

This past fourth of July, two more Tu-95s greeted United States pilots with a message according to the North American Aerospace Defense Command: “Good morning, American pilots. We are here to greet you on your Fourth of July Independence Day.”
