Russia and NATO clash in skies as jets intercept SU-24 bomber performing 'dangerous maneuvers'
|
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A Russian Su-24 tactical bomber was intercepted by the Polish Air Force over the Baltic Sea last night, Poland's defence minister revealed today.
Wladysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that a pair of Polish jets were scrambled after the joint operational command for NATO forces in Europe issued the order to intercept.
| Earlier this week, Poland said a sanctioned Russian ship was performing 'suspicious manoueuvres' in the Baltic Sea near the power cable connecting Poland and Sweden. |
They located the aircraft in international airspace over the Baltic late on Thursday, before intercepting and 'effectively deterring' it, he said.
'The Russian Federation's Su-24 aircraft was performing dangerous manoueuvres,' Kosiniak-Kamysz told reporters.
He said such manoueuvres 'show what the intentions of this action are, that this is not an accidental action, but an intentional action'.
He added that 'such incidents have already taken place in recent weeks'.
Earlier this week, Poland said a sanctioned Russian ship was performing 'suspicious manoueuvres' in the Baltic Sea near the power cable connecting Poland and Sweden.
NATO troops were this week conducting training exercises on the strategic Baltic island of Gotland, itself considered for remilitarisation to face down the perceived Russian threat.
