The US earlier said it was concerned about the presence of the country’s jets near the coast of Alaska

Russia’s recent patrol flights in international airspace are a response to the increased activity of US aircraft near Russian airspace and in parts of the world that Moscow considers “sensitive,” President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday.

On Wednesday, Russian and Chinese bombers carried out joint air patrols over the waters of the Chukchi and Bering Seas, as well as the North Pacific, and flew near the coast of Alaska. While the aircraft did not enter US airspace, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin said Washington is concerned by the development.

According to Austin, it was the first time that Chinese nuclear-capable bomber aircraft have flown within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone, and the first time Chinese and Russian jets have taken off from the same base in northeastern Russia.

While delivering a speech at the annual Navy Day parade in St. Petersburg, Putin noted that Russia has conducted patrols in international airspace since 2007.

“This was our response to the increased activity of US strategic and reconnaissance aviation in regions of the world that Russia considers sensitive. This measure is aimed, among other things, at ensuring the security in the Asia-Pacific region,” he said, adding that Washington is to blame for making these patrols necessary.

Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian strategic missile carriers have not conducted air patrols away from our borders. Russia believed there was no longer any need for this – the world has changed, the Cold War has ended. However, the US did not reciprocate our gesture of goodwill and continued patrolling our borders.

Russian aircraft often conduct patrol flights near American airspace, while also monitoring US and NATO flights near its own airspace. Russia has sent jets to escort fighters and bombers of the bloc’s member states away from its borders on numerous occasions in recent years.

As strategic allies, Russia and China also often carry out joint patrols over the Asia-Pacific region. The exercise that took place this week was the eighth joint air strategic patrol carried out by the two nations since 2019, according to Chinese Defense Ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang. Speaking to reporters on Thursday, he stressed that the operation was “not directed at any third party.” The Russian Defense Ministry said the patrol was conducted in accordance with international law.
