On Monday, November 11, the German Air Force took its fighter jets to the skies. The reason for this was a Russian Il-20M reconnaissance aircraft.
This was reported by the press service of the German Air Force on X.
Russian aircraft in German airspace
Yesterday, the German Air Force spotted a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft in German airspace. It was flying without a flight plan and radio communication.
Therefore, fighter jets flew from the cities of Laage in Germany and Lielvarde in Lithuania to detect and track it.
As a reminder, Japanese fighter jets fired warning missiles at a Russian military reconnaissance plane that violated the country's airspace.
We also wrote that a Tu-134 transport plane burned down at the Russian military airfield Orenburg-2.
