- The US intercepted Russian and Chinese bombers near Alaska on Wednesday.
- They weren't seen as a threat, but it's the first time the countries have been seen cooperating this way.
- It also comes a few days after Beijing and Moscow criticized the US' strategy in the Arctic.
North American Aerospace Defense Command said it sent fighter jets to intercept four Russian and Chinese bombers as they passed near Alaska on Wednesday.
