NATO jets scrambled after Russian planes seen off Norway and over Baltic Sea 'not adhering to international norms'
Italian and Norwegian jets responded under NATO authority on Tuesday to multiple Russian aircraft “not adhering to international norms.”
NATO Allied Air Command said on Thursday that Italy’s air force intercepted a Russian Coot-A over the Baltic Sea, and Norway’s air force “took off to identify multiple Russian aircraft flying in international airspace off the Norwegian Coast.”
Russian aircraft have been detected and intercepted several times in recent months.
The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) detected and tracked several Russian aircraft in the Alaska area in September. In one incident, a Russian fighter jet came within feet of a U.S. F-16 near the coast of Alaska.
Fighter jets intercepted Chinese and Russian bombers off the coast of Alaska in July. The bombers did not enter the sovereign airspace of the U.S. or Canada.
