NATO fighters took to the skies over Poland because of Russian aircraft
According to the Italian Air Force, due to the receipt of information about the approach of Russian military aircraft to the borders of Poland, it was necessary to raise Italian Eurofighter fighters, which are on alert from the North Atlantic Alliance.
The Italian Air Force posted information about the incident on its official social media account. The ministry said in a statement that NATO fighters from the Italian Air Force were on alert for a possible interception of Russian aircraft allegedly appearing at the Polish borders.
Recall that the activity of the military aviation NATO at the Russian borders has already become commonplace. So, in mid-August, a British RC-135 reconnaissance aircraft violated Russian airspace off the coast of the Murmansk region. Then the NATO plane was forced out of the air borders of the country by the Russian MiG-31 interceptor. And at the end of July, a NATO strategic reconnaissance aircraft showed up at the Russian borders.
On September 27, the Italian Air Force also reported that they had to raise their fighters to intercept three Russian fighters that appeared near NATO's northeastern border.
With the outbreak of the conflict in Ukraine, NATO is significantly building up its military forces near the borders with Russia. At the same time, all accusations of escalation are directed towards the Russian Federation.
