Three Russian fighter jets violated Estonia’s airspace on Friday near Vaindloo Island in the Gulf of Finland. They remained for 12 minutes before being intercepted by Italian F-35s under Nato’s Baltic Air Policing Mission. Nato called the move “reckless Russian behaviour.” Estonia’s Foreign Ministry said the jets had no flight plans, transponders were off, and no communication with air traffic services. Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna called the act “unprecedentedly brazen” and urged stronger international pressure. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas termed it “an extremely dangerous provocation.” The breach follows recent Russian drone incidents over Poland. (PC: India Today)
