Russian bombers flew undetected across Arctic - AF commander
MOSCOW, April 22 (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.

Beside the fact its a ruskie repot, I wonder about a few things.
How does this guy know he wasn't detected? Just because he wasn't shot down or intercepted doesn't mean we didn't know they were there. And if it did happen why would they say anything. Sounds like BS.
Or has NORAD gone down the drain? I would find that hard to believe.
