Pentagon, Senate Concerned About Tu-95 Flights over Nimitz
U.S. Senator Ben Nelson will urge the Armed Service Committee to discuss flights of Russia’s Tu-95 bombers over U.S. aircraft carrier Nimitz, RIA Novosti reported.
The senator views actions of Russia’s pilots as provocation and vowed to talk them over in Senate. Meanwhile, people in Pentagon said they are studying the incident in an effort to understand Russia’s purpose when ordering its bombers to fly close to the U.S. vessels.

Four Tu-95 bombers of Russia were patrolling the Pacific February 9 and 10. The flights were made over neutral waters without breaching international borders, representatives of Russia’s Air Force said. At the same time, they aknowledged that the bombers were escorted by fighters of Japan and United States and the U.S. fighters took off exactly from Nimitz.
