In a series of incidents that occurred on the same day, NATO reported that they intercepted three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets in Estonian airspace over the Gulf of Finland without permission. The jets stayed in Estonian airspace for a total of 12 minutes.
The incidents were met with protests from both Estonia and Poland. The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Russian chargé d'affaires, while the Polish Border Guard reported the incident to the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland and other services.
The incidents involved more than just the Estonian airspace violation. Russian fighter jets also performed a low flyby over the drilling platform of Petrobaltic, a company based in the Baltic Sea. The security zone of the platform was breached, raising concerns about potential violations of international airspace rules.
The identities of the Russian fighter pilots who violated the security zone of the Petrobaltic platform have not been disclosed in the available sources. However, it is clear that these incidents occurred in the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland regions.
The protests were made in the context of these potential violations of international airspace rules. The Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed a formal protest to the Russian chargé d'affaires, underscoring the importance of respecting international norms and rules.
As the situation unfolds, it is crucial for all parties involved to maintain open lines of communication and work towards resolving any issues peacefully and diplomatically.
