For second time in a week, British and German fighter jets intercept Russian aircraft close to Estonian airspace as NATO carries out joint air policing efforts in the region

The British air force said the operation was a"reassurance that the UK and Germany together with other NATO allies stand with their Estonian ally at this time of tension."

The two Typhoon jets on Friday intercepted “a Russian military Tu-134 passenger jet, known by the NATO name Crusty, that was being escorted by two Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker fighter jets, and an AN-12 Cub military transport aircraft,” the UK’s Royal Air Force said in a statement on Saturday.
