These are bombers, not reconnaissance aircraft. These planes can carry nuclear tipped cruise missiles. This has happened several times before. The rumours about Plasma stealth technology must be true. But never mind about this, American Idol is on in a minute....

But, as everyone knows, Canada is just another provence in the north of America, so it's a mistake easily made...Originally posted by MailmanLeave a comment:

The story has been changed. Originally it was the Canadians investigating and it was Canada's airspace that was compromised...now its America is investigating and American airspace was compromised????

MOSCOW (RIA Novosti) -- Russian military planes flew undetected through the U.S. zone of the Arctic Ocean to Canada during recent military exercises, a senior Air Force commander said Saturday.
The commander of the country's long-range strategic bombers, Lieutenant General Igor Khvorov, said the U.S. Air Force is now investigating why its military was unable to detect the Russian bombers.
"They were unable to detect the planes either with radars or visually," he said.
Khorov said that during the military exercises in April, Tu-160 Blackjack bombers and Tu-95 Bears had successfully carried out four missile launches. Bombing exercises were held using Tu-22 Blinders.
By the end of the year, two more Tu-160s will be commissioned for the long-range strategic bomber fleet, Khorov said.
Both new planes will incorporate numerous upgrades from the initial Soviet models, the commander said. The bombers will be able to launch both cruise missiles and aviation bombs, and communicate via satellite.
