Royal Air Force jets in Estonia took to the sky to intercept Russian military aircraft for the second time in one day, the United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defense said.
The RAF Typhoon fighters intercepted Russian SU-30 fighters and related military transport aircraft while over the Baltic Sea on the evening of June 14 and during June 15. The RAF has been working with Estonian authorities since May after taking over the Baltic Air Policing mission. This series of interceptions has brought Britain’s incidents with Russian aircraft to a total of 11 since then.
“This was a routine NATO airspace policing mission for the Typhoon detachment providing continued reassurance to the region,” the RAF in a statement. “The U.K. operates in support of NATO to reassure our allies and is a further demonstration of the U.K’s commitment to the security of the region.”
