NATO Eurofighters were scrambled to intercept Russian II-20 military aircraft flying over the Baltic Sea.
The Italian Eurofighters are believed to have taken off from Malbrok, Poland as the Russian aircraft failed to answer.
NATO’s Allied Air Command (AIRCOM) said the Alpha Scramble saw the jets take off within 15 minutes.
AIRCOM wrote on X on Wednesday afternoon, “[Italian] Eurofighters currently Air Policing out of Malbrok [Poland], had their first scramble 2 days ago & their second Alpha scramble yesterday.
The jets intercepted a [Russian] IL20 that was flying over the Baltic Sea. It was not answering to the requests of identification.”
