For the first time, NATO Air Policing jets are flying out of 🇱🇻 Latvia. 🇩🇪 German Eurofighters based at Lielvarde Air Base, are tasked with #SecuringTheSkies over and around Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. Since deploying earlier this year, the German fighters have intercepted Russian aircraft flying over the Baltic Sea 10 times. NATO aircraft assigned to the Baltic Air Policing mission, regularly intercept Russian aircraft when they don’t use transponders to identify themselves or fail to respond to hails from air traffic controllers, meaning they appear on radar simply as an unidentified contact. NATO air commanders often order scrambles to identify the radar track, observe its behaviour and ensure that it does not pose a threat to NATO Allies
