Russia has confirmed it flew nuclear-capable bombers to its far-eastern region opposite of Alaska as part of a training routine.
The country’s Ministry of Defense said in a statement that the Tupolev Tu-160 bombers, capable of carrying 12 short-range nuclear missiles, traveled some 3,800 miles over eight hours from western Russia to Anadyr in the Chukotka region, which is near Alaska, Reuters reported.
