Polish fighter jets intercepted a Russian reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea for the third time this week, intensifying fears of rising tensions between NATO and Moscow. The untracked plane was flying without a flight plan or active transponder, prompting an immediate response from Poland’s Air Force. NATO remains on high alert after recent airspace violations over Estonia and suspected drone incidents in Denmark and Norway. As Eastern Europe faces mounting pressure, questions grow over Russia’s military intentions and the Alliance’s readiness to respond.
