Dutch F-35s intercept three Russian military aircraft near Poland-Ukraine
NATO Air Command confirmed on Tuesday that two Dutch F-35 fighter jets carried out their first A-scramble to intercept Russian military aircraft flying close to Poland airspace.
“Supported by German inets they shadowed the Russian aircraft who were posing a danger to other air users by ignoring international air safety rules,” the command said in a Twitter post.
According to the Duch Ministry of Defense, the Russian aircraft were an II-20M (known to NATO as the Coot-A) spy plane and two Su-27s (Flakers) fighter jets.
