A Russian reconnaissance aircraft was spotted over the Baltic Sea. As a result, Germany decided to raise its fighters to the skies. The incident took place on April 30, the German news agency DPA wrote.
The Russian plane was spotted in international airspace near the island of Rügen. Germany immediately launched two Eurofighter fighters from Laage airbase. They escorted the Russian aircraft into international airspace.
Recall, Danish Foreign Minister Eppe Kofod said the Russian An-40 propeller-driven aircraft had illegally violated Danish airspace. Consequently, the Foreign Ministry summoned the Russian ambassador. Moreover, according to Stockholm, the reconnaissance aircraft also entered Swedish airspace.
