A NATO member country was forced to scramble fighter jets once again this week after a Russian reconnaissance aircraft was spotted over the Baltic Sea. Poland scrambled F-16 fighter jets in response to a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft operating near Western defence positions.

The Putin plane was flying in international waters "without a filed flight plan and with its transponder turned off".
