NATO scrambled around 350 times for Russian jets in 2020
NATO scrambled around 350 times for Russian jets in 2020
By: The Associated Press & ABC News - 12-28-20 Re: https://abcnews.go.com/International...-2020-74931831 NATO said that Russian military activity in the alliance’s airspace increased slightly this year as its jets across Europe scrambled more than 400 times to escort or shadow unknown aircraft BRUSSELS -- NATO says that Russian military activity in the alliance's airspace increased slightly this year as its jets across Europe scrambled more than 400 times to escort or shadow unknown aircraft. In a statement released Monday, NATO said almost 90%, or about 350 of these missions, were connected to flights by Russian military aircraft. “This is a moderate increase from 2019," NATO said. “Russian military aircraft often do not transmit a transponder code indicating their position and altitude, do not file a flight plan, or do not communicate with air traffic controllers, posing a potential risk to civilian airliners." NATO has two air operations centers – one in Germany, covering northern Europe, and one in Spain covering the south – which together monitor all air movements across Europe. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Personal note: Russia is just testing the water's to see what if any additional counter-measure's they may need to take once detected? Take a few snap shots and go back home and denote any movements or new counter-measure's were put in place. Boats Boats
