NATO went on a serious escalation against Russia.

As follows from the data provided by the press service of the North Atlantic Alliance, over the past 48 hours, NATO fighters thrice intercepted Russian military aircraft near their borders. We are talking about very serious provocations, since Russian strategic planes were intercepted, in particular, we are talking about Tu-160 bombers and long-range Tu-142 anti-submarine aircraft.

“The alliance's press service said on Thursday that over the past two days, NATO air forces in Northern Europe have made emergency flights three times to intercept Russian military aircraft. “Over the past two days, NATO aircraft have been busy intercepting Russian aircraft flying near NATO airspace,” the statement said. Estonian-based Polish fighters were raised on April 28 to identify a group of two Russian Tu-160 long-range bombers and their escort, according to the statement. Later the formation was again intercepted by fighters of the Royal Danish Air Force ", - the Arab edition of Al Masdar News reports.

Europe has already announced the actual beating of Russian aircraft, which was deprived of the effect of surprise when approaching European borders.

“Russian planes do not even have time to take off, when they immediately find themselves intercepted. It’s obvious that NATO realized how to deal with Russian planes and now they’re just beating them. ”

“Russian aircraft with nuclear weapons on board are already in the sights of our fighters. The third time in 48 hours! ”

Specialists, in turn, pay attention to the fact that such incidents, although provocative, can in no way be considered an interception.

“The fact that we were accompanied by NATO aircraft is not at all an interception. Whoever says “beating the Russians”, but this is nothing more than boasting - if there was a desire, Russia could arrange an unforgettable flight for NATO fighters through jet exhaust, and you should not forget about it ”, - the specialist comments on the appeared information.
