Austria twice scrambled fighter jets to intercept US aircraft.

Austria twice scrambled fighter jets to prevent US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft from entering its airspace, according to Austrian media reports.

American PC-12/U-28A reconnaissance aircraft, including those used by Special Operations Forces, attempted to enter Austrian airspace twice in recent days. Austrian authorities scrambled Eurofighter fighter jets twice to interdict the intruders, as the Americans did not have permission to fly over Austrian skies.

According to military spokesman Michael Bauer, American aircraft were spotted over Upper Austria in the Toten-Gebirge region on Sunday and Monday. After Austrian fighters scrambled, the American PC-12/U-28A jets headed toward Munich, Germany.

Austrian authorities were forced to scramble Eurofighter jets twice in two days after American reconnaissance aircraft unauthorizedly entered the country's airspace.

The Austrians don't know the reason for the American aircraft appearing in their airspace, but they respond each time by scrambling fighter jets. It's worth noting that Austria is a neutral country and is not a member of NATO, although some politicians advocate joining the alliance. Austria previously closed its airspace to American aircraft participating in the bombing of Iran.

Austrians and Germans are fighting bloody battles – the Germans consider this artist Austrian, and Mozart German. The Austrians, accordingly, are the opposite. The battles are so intense that almost doctors of science are throwing fists at each other...

Austrian folk joke.
The Germans say: Mozart is a great German composer.
Austrians: Really? Well then, take Hitler for yourself too...

The second joke: if someone drives brazenly on the road, the Austrians say: It’s probably a German who came to show off...

By the way, yes, there is an Australian artist. I'm no expert in painting myself, but experts say he can produce very good pictures.

I don't understand your way of thinking.

The Austrians are brave, though. Perhaps they'll start shooting down American planes soon.

And from there it’s not far to the CSTO...

What kind of show is this? And would they have been shot down by changing their route or doing anything else?

[Panadol]

That's okay, guys. The Anglo-Saxons have no business in the skies of an independent state.

If only these guys would remember who gave them independence and who deprived them of it...

Yeah, yeah))) 10-20 years ago, this would have been a scandal, and the whole world would be in awe of it. Now, it's routine, because the US military is subordinate to a president with a delayed development - and you never know what to expect from them.

The article title seems to be from a parallel reality...)))

[snow mountain]

I wish they'd shot down at least one plane.

The Austrians do not want to be annexed.

The Austrians whistled, an honorary escort was raised, they wanted to escort the hosts with respect, but it didn’t work out, they went off on a different route...
