German fighter jets were scrambled to intercept a Russian reconnaissance aircraft on Tuesday, German media has reported.
Two Eurofighter jets took off from the Rostock-Laage air base in Germany after the Russian aircraft was spotted flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea, according to Deutsche Welle. The Il-20 plane was spotted with its transponders turned off and without having a flight plan submitted. NATO’s air command gave the order to intercept the aircraft.
