The agency notes that the two aircraft did not pose a threat. In addition, their appearance was not regarded as a provocation. They remained in international airspace. The sovereign borders of the United States and Canada were not violated. To ensure national security, the US monitors the airspace at a distance of 160 km from its border.
Remember that at the end of summer Germany Germany launched two Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft to intercept Russian MiG-31, Su-27 and Il-62M fighters to intercept Russian planes in Europe. In a few days the MiG-31, Su-27 and Il-62M violated the airspace of the Baltic States.
