An impressive military flyover marked the start of the meeting between U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin this Friday (15) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska.
As they walked together on the red carpet, Putin briefly paused the conversation and looked up to see a strategic B-2A “Spirit” stealth bomber crossing the horizon, escorted by four F-35 Lightning II fighter jets. 
The aircraft, symbols of U.S. air power, made the low-altitude pass in a moment loaded with symbolism, reinforcing the American military presence in the Pacific and the strategic importance of the meeting.
The event comes amid delicate negotiations, with expectations of discussions on a possible ceasefire in the war between Russia and Ukraine. The location in Alaska, close to the Arctic and Russia’s Far East, also highlights the strategic nature of the meeting from both military and diplomatic perspectives.
