French jets intercept Russia 11 times
French fighter jets intercepted Russian aircraft 11 times last week over the Baltic region, as part of NATO missions to protect the airspace of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. A spokesperson for the French armed forces stated that the operations involved incursions by Russian planes without flight plans or communications, which may reflect Moscow's attempt to demonstrate its strength, especially in light of hosting the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. These incidents occur amid escalating tensions with Russia following a series of airspace violations, with concerns about the war in Ukraine spreading to NATO's northern borders.
