Norway’s armed forces escort five Russian aircraft vehicles out of Alaskan ADIZ.

The article reports that on 19 February 2026, NORAD detected and tracked several Russian military aircraft operating in the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). The aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter U.S. or Canadian sovereign airspace; U.S. and Canadian fighter aircraft monitored them as part of NORAD’s response. The activity was therefore not considered a direct violation of U.S. territory, although it prompted a military interception/monitoring response.
