(Aug. 25) -- Canadian fighter jets turned away two Russian bombers that were heading for Canadian airspace, a government spokesman said today.
Two Canadian CF-18s shadowed the Russian bombers that were detected to the north of Canada on Tuesday. The planes flew within 30 nautical miles of Canada's airspace before the Russians flew away, according to Dimitri Soudas, a spokesman for Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
"Thanks to the rapid response of the Canadian Forces, at no time did the Russian aircraft enter sovereign Canadian airspace," Soudas said, according to The Associated Press.
Fighter jets from Canada and the United States have intercepted between 12 and 18 Russian bombers a year since 2007, according to The Calgary Sun.

CF-18 is a multi-roll aircraft and one of those is as a bomber. The last time we had dedicated bombers was WW II.
