JAKARTA - Russia's Ministry of Defense insists Russian fighter jets do not violate Estonian airspace. The fighter jet flew over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea on its way from northwestern Russia to Russia's Baltic exclave, Kaliningrad.
The Estonian government, a NATO member, said three Russian military jets violated its airspace for 12 minutes in an "very daring and unprecedented" insurface.
The incident occurred more than a week after more than 20 Russian unmanned aircraft entered Polish airspace, some of which were shot down by NATO jets.
The flight was carried out by complying with strict international rules regarding airspace, without violating other countries' borders as confirmed by independent checks, the Russian Ministry of Defense said in a statement about three MiG-31 fighter aircraft in a post on Telegram on Saturday, September 20.
"During the flight, the Russian plane did not deviate from the agreed flight path and did not violate Estonian airspace," Russia continued.
