A first for H-6.

Those Y-20s that flew to Ugolny Airport in Anadyr of the Russian Far East sometime ago were probably evaluating and preparing forward staging grounds for H-6 operations (as a refueling stop en route to the US) and/or YY-20 operations (as staging ground for YY-20s to conduct mid-air refueling for the H-6s over Kamchatka/Bering/Arctic en route to the US).

The Y-20s possibly carrying spare parts, support equipment, tooling to support the mission to support contingencies. Does anyone know where the H-6s took off from and transited?

The Russian and PRC aircraft remained in international airspace and did not enter American or Canadian sovereign airspace. This Russian and PRC activity in the Alaska ADIZ is not seen as a threat, and NORAD will continue to monitor competitor activity near North America and meet presence with presence.
