It is noted that for the first time German Eurofighter fighter jets departed from the Latvian military base to fulfill a similar mission. Latvia's Defense Minister, Andris Prauds, expressed his reaction to the incident. "NATO aircraft patrols are working completely and the Allies can respond immediately. Today, German Eurofighter fighter jets have gone from the air base for the first time to intercept two Russian military aircraft near Latvia territorial waters," he wrote on Twitter.
Recall that the French fighters of Miraage 2000-5 on Thursday, February 29, were intercepted over the Baltic Sea by two Russian Su-30M, and then An-72. In 2024, it became known about a number of bilateral security agreements concluded with the countries of the European Union and NATO: with the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark and others.
