The Armed Forces of Latvia: Eurofighter Typhoon planes rose into the sky over the Baltic to intercept seven aircraft of the Russian Air Force
A new message appeared on the Twitter of the Latvian Armed Forces that the fighters of the Spanish and Italian Air Forces were forced to rise over the Baltic to intercept Russian Air Forces. Spanish and Italian pilots in March perform tasks as part of the so-called Baltic air patrols. As the Latvian military reported to Twitter, the Italians and Spaniards 4 of the Su-27, 2 An-26 and 1 An-12 "intercepted".
Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft departed from an airfield in Lithuanian Šiauliai. It is reported that in Riga they are concerned that Russian military aircraft have increased their presence in the skies over the Baltic. And the presence of Italian and Spanish pilots, along with the American land contingent on their land (and in their skies) Riga is not concerned?
It should be recalled that at the moment in Russia large-scale military exercises are being held, in which about 38 thousands of servicemen of various types and types of troops, hundreds of pieces of military equipment are participating. The teachings run from the Arctic to the Azov and Black Seas. A few days ago, Russia withdrew from the CFE Treaty Advisory Council, and automatically received the right to deploy units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in any region to the extent that would be necessary for the country's security.
