MOSCOW, March 18 – RIA Novosti. The British Royal Air Force claims that on March 17, together with a German Air Force fighter, they escorted Russian planes near Estonian airspace. “As part of the ongoing aerial patrols in the area, a pair of NATO fighter jets were launched on March 17 to intercept a Russian military passenger Tupolev Tu-134…which was being escorted by two Su -27 and a military An-12. The Russian formations were intercepted as they flew near Estonian airspace,” the British Air Force website said in a statement. According to the RAF, British and German forces are carrying out joint NATO air patrols in the area, which they call normal escort operations. The statement said they grounded the Russian planes and escorted them while they were near the airspace of a NATO country. It should be noted that this is the second contact of British and German planes with Russian planes in a week. Earlier this week, the UK Ministry of Defense said British and German fighter jets intercepted and escorted a Russian tanker flying close to Estonian airspace, the first such joint operation between the two. country. The Russian Federation has repeatedly stated that all air flights are carried out in strict compliance with international rules, without violating the borders of other states.
