As reported, three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets illegally entered Estonian airspace near Vaindloo Island on Friday morning. The aircraft remained in Estonian airspace for about 12 minutes before being intercepted by Italian F-35s.

The Russian jets had not filed flight plans, their transponders were turned off, and they did not maintain two-way radio communication with Estonian air traffic controllers during the violation.

EU and NATO officials issued statements regarding the incursion into Estonian airspace, a member of both the EU and the Alliance, by Russian combat aircraft.
