Last week, the Russian Defense Ministry reported two similar incidents over the Baltic Sea, involving a French and a German aircraft.
One Russian fighter jet Su-27 took off today to intercept two US B-1B strategic bombers over the Baltic Sea that were approaching the airspace of the Russian Federation, the Defense Ministry said in Moscow.
“After the removal of the foreign warplanes, the Russian fighter returned to its base” without causing an incident, says the Russian Ministry of Defense in a post on Telegram. Russian airspace was not violated, he emphasizes.
Such incidents between Russian and NATO aircraft have multiplied in recent years, even before the start of the war in Ukraine.
