Aeronave militare rusești, interceptate în golful Finlandei de avioane de luptă finlandeze și suedeze

Finnish and Swedish fighter jets were deployed to intercept Russian military aircraft over the Gulf of Finland, marking their first joint operational mission. This operation, conducted on September 24, was part of a Quick Reaction Alert to identify military aircraft in international airspace. The mission highlights the growing military cooperation between Finland and Sweden, both of which joined NATO following security policy changes due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The presence of Russian military aircraft in the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland is closely monitored by NATO states in the region.
