Srikandi גבורה - Jurucakap
Amerika Utara Pertahanan Aeroangkasa Perintah (NORAD) disahkan minggu ini
bahawa satu kumpulan pengebom Rusia mencetuskan penggera di Amerika Syarikat
selepas yang termasuk dalam 50 batu dari pantai California Pasifik.
Tentera
Laut Kapten Jeff Davis, jurucakap NORAD, memberitahu Washington Free Beacon wartawan Bill Gertz bahawa
sepasang Tu-95 pesawat Bear H dikekalkan oleh Rusia datang dekat dengan ruang
udara Amerika Syarikat semasa amalan pengeboman manakala 4 daripada kapal
terbang itu telah menjalankan pengeboman berjalan berhampiran Alaska.
Menurut
Inisiatif Ancaman Nuklear ‘Nuclear
Threat Initiative’ organisasi bukan keuntungan, Rusia mempunyai 29
Tu-95 Bear MS6 H6s dan 30 Tu-95 Bear MS16 H16s, yang dilengkapi dengan penambak
kedua-dua tradisional dan muatan nuklear sasaran dari udara.
Daud
memberitahu Beacon bahawa kejadian minggu ini berlaku pada petang Isnin dan
telah di kesan dengan cepat oleh sistem radar yang dipantau Amerika zon
pertahanan udara. Radar itu nampak semua 4 pesawat Rusia, dia berkata, dan 2
F-22 jet pejuang digunakan oleh Tentera Udara Amerika Syarikat telah
menggembleng usaha memintas pengebom.
"Selepas
mengesan pengebom kerana mereka terbang ke arah timur, 2 daripada 4 menanggung
berpaling dan menuju ke arah barat Timur Jauh Rusia," Gertz menulis.
"Baki yang 2 pengebom nuklear-mampu terbang menghala tenggara dan sekitar
21:30 memasuki utara zon pertahanan udara Amerika Syarikat di luar pantai
California Utara.
Kedua-dua
kapal terbang, katanya, membuat dalam masa 50 batu dari pantai sebelum pulih.
Para juruterbang, Davis memberitahu Beacon, yang terbiar perlu "bertindak
secara profesional" dan tingkah laku mereka adalah setanding dengan
aktiviti itu "tidak luar biasa" untuk misi latihan penerbangan jarak
jauh biasanya dijalankan oleh Rusia semasa bulan-bulan musim panas.
Malah,
dalam beberapa minggu kebelakangan ini lain Rusia milik Tu-95 pengebom skirted
UK ruang udara dan telah datang dekat dengan harta Amerika Syarikat di
kedua-dua Guam dan California, Aviationist melaporkan ‘The Aviationist reported’ bulan lepas.
Pada
bulan Mac, Rusia harian Nezavisimaya Gazeta, kata Angkatan Peluru Berpandu
Strategik negara memulakan latihan 3 hari untuk memastikan ada kesediaan yang
mencukupi untuk menjalankan serangan nuklear.
"Kami
menilai ini adalah sebahagian daripada latihan," David menambah kejadian
minggu ini, "Dan mereka tidak memasuki ruang udara wilayah."
Walaupun
usianya, David Cenciotti menulis untuk The Aviationist, Tu-94 "masih
merupakan satu senjata strategik yang penting dalam senjata Putin."
Awal
minggu ini, latihan Russia dipergiatkan apabila tentera negara mula latihan di
Baltik bahawa Kementerian Pertahanan berkata merupakan tindak balas kepada
latihan baru-baru ini di Eropah Timur yang dijalankan oleh kuasa-kuasa NATO.
Negara-negara
Bersekutu pada masa ini mengekalkan kehadiran di sana, banyak yang mengecewakan
Moscow, ketegangan di sepanjang sempadan Ukraine dengan Rusia kekal tinggi.
US
State Dept. melaporkan pada tahun lepas bahawa Rusia mungkin mempunyai senjata
yang mengandungi sebanyak 1,400 operasi dikerahkan kepala peledak nuklear
strategik dan 894 pelancar dikerahkan dan bukan dikerahkan.
RUSSIAN
Nuclear CAPABLE Bombers INTERCEPTED
Off California COAST . . .
A
spokesperson for the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) confirmed
this week that a fleet of Russian bombers set off alarms in the United States
after coming within 50 miles of California’s Pacific coast.
Navy
Capt. Jeff Davis, a spokesman for NORAD, told Washington Free Beacon reporter Bill Gertz that a pair
of Tu-95 Bear H aircraft maintained by Russia came close to US airspace during
practice bombing while four of the planes were conducting bombing runs near
Alaska. According to Nuclear
Threat Initiative nonprofit organization, Russia has 29 Tu-95 MS6 Bear
H6s and 30 Tu-95 MS16 Bear H16s, which are equipped to fire both traditional
and nuclear payloads at targets from the air.
David
told the Beacon that this week’s incident occurred on Monday afternoon and was
caught quickly by radar systems that monitored American air defense zones. The
radar spotted all four Russian aircraft, he said, and two F-22 fighter jets
used by the US Air Force were then mobilized to intercept the bombers.
“After
tracking the bombers as they flew eastward, two of the four Bears turned around
and headed west toward the Russian Far East,” Gertz wrote. “The remaining two
nuclear-capable bombers then flew southeast and around 9:30 P.M. entered the US
northern air defense zone off the coast of Northern California.
Those
two aircraft, he added, made it within 50 miles of the coast before turning
around. The pilots, Davis told the Beacon, appeared to have “acted
professionally” and that their behavior was on par with activity that’s “not
unusual” for long-range aviation training missions typically conducted by
Russia during the summer months.
Indeed,
in recent weeks other Russian-owned Tu-95 bombers skirted UK airspace and have
come close to US property in both Guam and California, The Aviationist reported last month.
In
March, Russia’s daily Nezavisimaya Gazeta, said the nation’s Strategic Missile
Forces began a three-day drill to make sure there was sufficient readiness to
conduct a nuclear offensive.
“We
assess this was part of training,” David added of this week’s incident, “And
they did not enter territorial airspace.”
In
spite of its age, David Cenciotti wrote for The Aviationist, the Tu-94 “still
represents a significant strategic weapon in Putin’s arsenal.”
Earlier
this week, Russian drills intensified when the nation’s military began
exercises in the Baltic that the Defense Ministry said was a response to recent
exercises in eastern Europe conducted by NATO forces. Allied nations currently
maintain a presence there, much to the chagrin of Moscow, as tensions along
Ukraine’s border with Russia remain high.
The
US State Dept. reported last year that Russia may have an arsenal that contains
as many as 1,400 operationally deployed strategic nuclear warheads and 894
deployed and non-deployed launchers
