MOSCOW, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Russian fighter jets intercepted two U.S. strategic bombers over the neutral waters of the Bering Sea on Wednesday.
The Russian MiG-31 and Su-35 planes escorted the U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers until they flew away from the Russian border, the Russian Defense Ministry's Zvezda broadcasting service reported.
The ministry said the Russian aircraft strictly complied with international rules for the use of airspace during the mission.
A day earlier, U.S. F-22 fighters escorted two Russian Tu-95MS strategic bombers when the Russian aircraft carried out a planned flight over the neutral waters of the Chukchi, Beaufort, Bering and Okhotsk seas. Enditem
