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.
