Matthew 24:10,11 Then he said to them: “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be great earthquakes, famines and pestilences in various places, and fearful events and great signs from heaven.
Officials at NORAD have confirmed that four Russian long-range bombers flew close to U.S. shores on Independence Day.
The first set of two bombers was intercepted by military fighter jets off the Alaskan coast. The second pair were intercepted off the California coast. Both sets stayed just far enough away from the coastline to be international airspace.
The first incident happened around 7:30 a.m. Pacific Time when two Air Force F-22 jets scrambled to intercept two Tupolev Tu-95 bombers. Both of the two Russian planes were capable of carrying nuclear weapons.
The second incident happened 30 minutes later off the central California coast. The bombers in this case were the same as the previous incident where they could carry nuclear payloads.
Officials would not say how close to American airspace the bombers reached before being intercepted by American aircraft.
“These are not unprecedented flights, but we are postured to respond whether Alaska or California,” NORAD spokesman Michael Kucharek said. “At no time did the bombers enter North American sovereign airspace.”
Its a test.
