US releases video of Russian fighter jet flying alongside US F-16 fighter jet near Alaska

On X (formerly Twitter), General Guillot called the Su-35 fighter's behavior "unsafe, unprofessional and dangerous for both sides".

Attached to the post on X is a short video clip recorded on September 23 from the cockpit of an American pilot flying an F-16, according to Stars and Stripes on October 1.

Russian Su-35 fighter jet "cuts off" US F-16 while escorting bombers near Alaska

In the 15-second clip, a Russian Su-35 fighter suddenly appeared on the left side of the F-16 fighter and tilted its wing as it flew past. The US plane immediately reacted by swaying to one side.

The incident occurred inside the Alaska Air Defense Identification Zone, NORAD said.

Previously, on September 14, NORAD tracked two IL-38 reconnaissance aircraft passing through the air defense identification zone.

And in July, Canadian and US fighter jets shadowed two Russian and two Chinese bombers flying about 200 miles off the coast of Alaska, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said on July 25.

In response to increased Russian and Chinese military activity in the Arctic, the Alaska-based 11th Airborne Division deployed three Army units to the Aleutian Islands earlier this month, about 1,200 miles west of Anchorage.
