"NORAD positively tracks and identifies foreign military aircraft entering the ADIZ, and regularly monitors the movements of foreign aircraft and, if necessary, escorts them out of the ADIZ."
According to the agency, NORAD uses a sophisticated overlapping network of satellites, ground radar, airborne radar and fighter aircraft to track and identify aircraft.
"We remain ready to employ a range of response options for the defense of North America and Arctic sovereignty," NORAD said.
The Russian aircraft flew inside ADIZ before NORAD conducted the Noble Defender air defense operation in the region between 12 and 14 September.
The military operation involves planes and personnel from the United States and Canada flying high over sparsely populated areas of the Arctic and Pacific, where the public is unlikely to see or hear them, according to NORAD.
Operation Noble Defender is a long-planned series of routine NORAD operations that validate NORAD Command's ability to defend Canada and the United States from all sorts of approaches and demonstrate the ability to integrate with other defense partners and security for a holistic 360-degree defense of North America, ”NORAD said in a September 6 statement.
Military personnel are practicing rapidly deploying assets and conducting operations in that region with the aim of quickly deterring, defending or defeating threats to North America.
All three regions of NORAD participate in the exercises, including the NORAD Region of Alaska (ANR), the NORAD Region of Canada (CANR), and the Continental NORAD Region of the United States (CONR).
NORAD is a Canadian US command in charge of the defense of the United States and Canada, operational since 1958. Its three main missions are aerospace alert, aerospace control and maritime alert for threats to North America.
