Arrr, matey! NORAD be claimin’ they shot down them scallywag Russian flying contraptions near Alaska’s shores on Sunday! Thar be three times in as many days, and four times this week—that’s more than a barrel o’ rum at a sailor’s shindig! Avast, what a ruckus!
Ahoy me hearties! Gather 'round fer a tale of aerial mischief off the icy shores of Alaska. The fine scallywags at NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, spied some Russian birds flutterin' about, eh? Aye, on a fateful Sunday, two hulkin' IL-38 warplanes were tracked in the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, or ADIZ, as they be callin’ it. This be the fourth time since the ominous day of 9/11 that such shenanigans have unfolded!Fear not, ye landlubbers! These crafty Russians remained in the vast ocean of international airspace, not daring to trespass upon U.S. or Canadian waters. It seems this frolicsome foray into the ADIZ be a regular occurrence, albeit no real threat to our fair nation, according to NORAD’s report.
Throughout the week, those sneaky Russians played peekaboo with a couple more planes, like TU-142s, but they too stayed clear of our sovereign realms! NORAD be keepin’ a watchful eye with their fancy gadgets and fighter ships, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice!
So, raise a tankard to our watchful guardians in the skies! Even as Putin puffs his chest, we be ready to hoist the sails and defend our turf with a hearty laugh and a wink! Yarrr!
