On the 19th September 2025 between 0958 and 1011hrs Russia carried out another, in a series of air incursions into Estonian airspace. They were technically minor infractions but the last one lasted almost 12 minutes, and in the context of tensions with NATO โ largely created by Russia itself, it was just another dangerous move in the never ending game of Baltic chess.

The F-35โs closed from behind โ unseen โ and identified the aircraft using their optical scanner before pulling away. The Gripens commander then used the emergency radio frequency to tell the Russians, โYou are under our control. Return to Russian air space immediatelyโ.
At first confused the Russian pilots turned one after another and departed Estonian air space, back into international space and continued their journey to Kaliningrad. Who would like to have been in the briefing room after that escapade?
