As the aircraft approached the airspace of the Benillux countries from the Air Base Folkel, the Netherlands, two F-16 fighter jets were raised in the air. "This morning, two F-16 F-16 fighters flew to the interception of two Russian bombers. They flew towards the Dutch airspace. The deployment of the fighter was associated with the so-called rapid response alert (QRA)," the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands confirmed.
According to the department, fighters of the Denmark Armed Forces, which eventually intercepted Russian aircraft over the territory of Denmark. "The bombers turned back," the message reads.
