Yesterday, French Mirage 2000-5 fighter jets intercepted Russian aircraft over the Baltic Sea, including two SU-30 fighter jets, an IL-20 "Coot", and an AN-72 transport aircraft. The interceptions occurred in international airspace near the coasts of Latvia and Lithuania. This operation was part of NATO's efforts to secure the skies over the Baltic States, in response to Putin's fresh nuclear threat towards the West.
