Russian MiGs over Estonia. Country triggers NATO Article 4

Three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered Estonian airspace on Friday morning near Vaindloo Island in the Gulf of Finland and remained there for approximately 12 minutes; we summoned the Russian charge d'affaires to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he was handed a note of protest, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tallinn reported.
"Russia has already violated Estonian airspace four times this year, which in itself is unacceptable. However, today's incursion, when three fighter jets entered our airspace, is unprecedented insolence," said Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna. He emphasized that Russia's increasingly frequent attempts to test its limits and growing aggression must be met with a rapid increase in political and economic pressure on the Kremlin.

"Russia has already violated Estonian airspace four times this year, which in itself is unacceptable. However, today's incursion, when three fighter jets flew into our airspace, is unprecedented impudence," said Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna. He emphasized that increasingly frequent attempts to test the borders and Russia's growing aggression must be met with a rapid intensification of political and economic pressure on the Kremlin.
According to Estonian intelligence, the Russian fighters had no flight plans and their transponders were turned off. They also failed to establish two-way radio contact with Estonian air traffic control.

Trzy rosyjskie myśliwce MiG-31 wleciały w piątek rano w przestrzeń powietrzną Estonii w pobliżu wyspy Vaindloo na Zatoce Fińskiej i pozostawały tam przez około 12 minut; wezwaliśmy do MSZ charge d'affaires Rosji, wręczono mu notę protestacyjną – poinformował resort dyplomacji w Tallinie.
„Rosja naruszyła już w tym roku przestrzeń powietrzną Estonii czterokrotnie, co samo w sobie jest nie do zaakceptowania. Jednak dzisiejsze wtargnięcie, gdy trzy myśliwce wleciały w naszą przestrzeń powietrzną, jest bezczelnością bez precedensu” – oświadczył szef MSZ Margus Tsahkna. Podkreślił, że coraz częstsze próby testowania granic i rosnąca agresja Rosji muszą spotkać się z szybkim nasileniem presji politycznej i gospodarczej wobec Kremla.
According to Estonian intelligence, the Russian fighters had no flight plans and their transponders were turned off. They also failed to establish two-way radio contact with Estonian air traffic control.

Według estońskich służb, rosyjskie myśliwce nie miały planów lotu, a ich transpondery były wyłączone. Nie nawiązały również dwukierunkowej łączności radiowej z estońską kontrolą ruchu lotniczego.

Szef MSZ Radosław Sikorski, po naruszeniu estońskiej przestrzeni powietrznej przez rosyjskie samoloty, ocenił, że Rosja znów pokazuje, że nie jest zainteresowana pokojem. Polska deklaruje solidarność z Estonią – podkreślił.
Estońskie ministerstwo spraw zagranicznych przekazało, że trzy rosyjskie myśliwce MiG-31 wleciały w piątek rano w przestrzeń powietrzną tego kraju w pobliżu wyspy Vaindloo w Zatoce Fińskiej i pozostawały tam przez około 12 minut. Do siedziby estońskiego MSZ wezwano charge d'affaires Rosji i wręczono mu notę protestacyjną.
„W zeszłym tygodniu Polska, dziś Estonia. Rosja kolejny raz prowokuje i pokazuje, że nie jest zainteresowana pokojem. Polska deklaruje solidarność z Estonią i stanowczo potępia naruszenie jej przestrzeni powietrznej przez Rosję” – napisał Sikorski w piątek na platformie X.
Według estońskich służb, rosyjskie myśliwce nie miały planów lotu, a ich transpondery były wyłączone. Nie nawiązały również dwukierunkowej łączności radiowej z estońską kontrolą ruchu lotniczego.

Trzy rosyjskie myśliwce MiG-31 wleciały w piątek rano w przestrzeń powietrzną Estonii w pobliżu wyspy Vaindloo na Zatoce Fińskiej i pozostawały tam przez około 12 minut; wezwaliśmy do MSZ charge d'affaires Rosji, wręczono mu notę protestacyjną – poinformował resort dyplomacji w Tallinie.
„Rosja naruszyła już w tym roku przestrzeń powietrzną Estonii czterokrotnie, co samo w sobie jest nie do zaakceptowania. Jednak dzisiejsze wtargnięcie, gdy trzy myśliwce wleciały w naszą przestrzeń powietrzną, jest bezczelnością bez precedensu” – oświadczył szef MSZ Margus Tsahkna. Podkreślił, że coraz częstsze próby testowania granic i rosnąca agresja Rosji muszą spotkać się z szybkim nasileniem presji politycznej i gospodarczej wobec Kremla.
According to Estonian intelligence, the Russian fighters had no flight plans and their transponders were turned off. They also failed to establish two-way radio contact with Estonian air traffic control.
