This story is entirely clickbait fearmongering.

The United States military scrambled fighter jets again Tuesday to track another Russian spy plane flying near Alaska... within the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone, which is a section of international airspace just outside of U.S. and Canadian sovereign space

They found that the russian military was flying aircraft near their own borders, in international airspace, where they are allowed to fly under international law. Militaries patrol their own borders, so this is where these two nations would routinely intercept each other, under all normal circumstances. None of this is alarming. None of this is newsworthy. None of this is even news.

Hack mainstream news outlets have been reporting on russian aircraft flying near russia as if its a crisis for a decade at least. It wasn't a crisis then, and it isn't now.
