NATO Intercepts Six Russian Jets Over Baltic Sea

The aircraft were flying without flight plans or active transponders, prompting a rapid response from NATO's Baltic Air Policing mission.

NATO Eurofighter jets were scrambled to intercept six Russian military aircraft over the Baltic Sea on Friday and Saturday.
The Russian planes were flying in international airspace near the Baltic states without activating their transponders.
This incident follows a recent event where a Russian drone crashed in Latvia after entering from Belarus.
The German Air Force identified the intercepted planes as one Sukhoi Su-35 and four Sukhoi Su-30MKIs.
Latvia's defense ministry has increased airspace monitoring in collaboration with NATO allies due to ongoing tensions.
