For the first time, German Eurofighter fighters intercepted Russian aircraft near Latvian territorial waters. Yesterday, March 1, these fighters took to the skies the Latvian military base “Lielvard” to intercept the air vehicles of the aggressor country. The Latvian Air Force reported this on Facebook.
Latvian Defense Minister Andris Spruds said on social media X that NATO air patrols are fully operational and allies can respond immediately.
Today, German Eurofighter jets departed from the airbase for the first time to intercept two Russian military aircraft near Latvian territorial waters, a report said.
Let us recall that at the end of February, Germany scrambled a Eurofighter fighter to intercept a Russian Il-20M military aircraft spotted in the Finland area.
