Russian military aircraft have launched a massive raid on NATO air defenses, as evidenced by statements in the Western media. Thus, according to the data presented, Russian combat aircraft were intercepted at least 10 times in just six hours.

“NATO reports that on Monday, in response to an" unusual peak "of Russian flights in several areas, NATO aircraft were raised 10 times over six hours. According to the Alliance, they intercepted aircraft near alliance airspace in the North Atlantic, North Sea, Baltic and Black Seas. NATO Secretary General called on Moscow to resume dialogue. According to NATO, while Russian military aircraft never entered member airspace, they did not transmit transponder codes, which posed a potential threat to civilian flights. The alliance said there were six incidents in total:

• Norwegian F-16s took off as two Tu-95s approached the Norwegian coast
• Russian planes then flew south over the North Sea, prompting opposition from the British and Belgian Air Forces.
• Later, two Tu-160 White Swan bombers were intercepted by the Norwegian Air Force.
• Allied aircraft also pursued three Russian aircraft over the Black Sea.
• Russian naval patrol aircraft was intercepted by Italian fighters over the Baltic Sea near Kaliningrad "

It should be noted that the training of strikes against NATO's concentration areas is associated with the provocations of the North Atlantic Alliance.
