The United States scrambled fighter jets, an E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft, and multiple KC-135 tanker aircraft on September 25th, 2025, as Russian aircraft approached the Alaskan Air Defense Identification Zone (ADIZ). The urgency of the scramble was highlighted by a social media post from TheMaineWonk at approximately 9:04 AM UTC. This development follows a similar incident on September 24th, when NORAD tracked two Tu-95s and two Su-35s within the Alaskan ADIZ, deploying an E-3 AWACS, four F-16 fighter jets, and four KC-135 tanker aircraft for identification and interception, according to a NORAD statement. Meanwhile, Denmark continues to investigate unidentified drone activity over military sites and airports in Jutland. Aalborg Airport has experienced multiple closures and re-openings on September 25th due to the ongoing drone presence. Danish police have stated they have been unable to trace the operators of these drones, which have been observed over military installations housing F-16 and F-35 fighter jets. Air traffic at Aalborg Airport has been re-imposed due to the continuing drone activity. Separately, Finland has been experiencing denial-of-service cyberattacks for four days, causing only momentary disturbances, according to an unnamed expert. The Russian group responsible has admitted to the acts and issued threats.
