The Italian airforce said on Friday it intercepted unidentified aircraft flying over international waters in the Baltic Sea, and two defence sources in Rome identified them as Russian planes.

The two interceptions were carried out on Thursday and Friday morning by Italian Eurofighter jets based in the Polish base of Malbork as part of a NATO air policing mission, a statement said.

After completing their activity, the Italian jets returned to the Polish base, the airforce added, without giving further details.

The Ruzzians might want to get used to being intercepted now that the Baltic has become Lake NATO.

Italy…Baltic Sea…international…

Yippee let's intercept your mother and go home

International airspace. Intercepted. Italian fighters. Polish airbases.

Stupid people won’t have questions.

Italy intercepts Russian aircraft over international waters of the Baltic which washes ashore on Russia proper and Kaliningrad which is also Russian territory?

Why?

Where does the Baltic come even vaguely close to Italy?

Interception?

For a real interception, look to the US Navy.
Like in 1988, when it shot down an Airbus 300, killing 290 people

Google is your friend! NATO Air Policing

Where does the Baltic come even vaguely close to Italy?

It doesn't. The only thing that might explain it is if Italy is in a defensive military alliance with Poland and other Baltic countries...

NATO wants a war.

Google is your friend!

No. google, especially and particularly, is not. That you either don’t know this, or sadly, are pushing this is revealing.

Did the guineas invite them over for some espresso.

The powers and principalities that are running this “Sh!t Show” have instructed
their acolytes across the globe to “Poke The Bear” until they get WW3 and the
planetary depopulation they seek.

How better to avoid paying for their crimes against Humanity?

It was in “international “ waters. Leave the Russians alone...

[Robert DeLong]

Here's my take away from this story. It's of little importance. They didn't intercept it at all. What they did was investigate it . They say it is a Russian plane & that it was flying over international waters. They didn't report it as being a military plane. They returned to base after getting eyes upon it.

So, why is this even a story? There will be some that try to make this story sound as threatening as possible, when it was quite obviously not threatening at all.
