Backlink: THE BL

Days ago, the media reported that on September 19, a formation of Chinese and Russian-flagged warships sailed into US territorial waters near Alaska, in the Bering Sea.

A U.S. Navy patrol ship, a 400-foot cruiser named Kimball, discovered three Chinese naval vessels and four Russian naval vessels sailing 85 miles north of Kiska island in Alaska.

During the sighting, a C-130 Hercules aircraft provided air support for the Kimball.
