Russian Military Aircraft Patrolled Above Oil Rig in Polish Territory

In a series of unexpected incidents, Russian MiG-31 fighter jets have breached the airspace of Poland and Estonia in the Baltic Sea region. The Polish drilling platform, owned by the Polish concern Orlen Petrobaltic, located approximately 70 km northeast of Jastarnia, was the target of two Russia news jets that approached at low altitude. The aircraft stayed in the area for an estimated 12 minutes, flying over the Petrobaltic drilling platform at an altitude of 150 meters. The Russia news aircraft did not respond to communication attempts from Polish authorities during the incident, raising concerns about potential escalation in the region. This incident occurred in the Polish economic zone of the Baltic Sea on a specific date and time, prompting the Polish armed forces and other services to initiate an investigation. The Polish authorities have not yet publicly identified the pilots of the Russia news fighter jets involved. Estonia reported an earlier violation of its airspace by Russia, with three MiG-31 fighter jets entering Estonian airspace near the Baltic Sea island of Vaindloo without permission. In response, the Italian air force fighter jets successfully intercepted the Russia news aircraft. The repeated incidents have raised concerns among NATO allies, who have been alerted to the situation and are monitoring it closely. The actions of the Russia news MiG-31 fighter jets have violated the safety zone above the platform, resulting in a potential threat to the security of the region. NATO responded immediately, with Italian air force jets intercepting the Russia news aircraft near the Polish drilling platform. The incident in the Polish economic zone of the Baltic Sea is a reminder of the importance of international cooperation and adherence to established airspace boundaries. As the investigation continues, the identity of the Russia news pilots involved remains unknown. The Polish authorities and NATO allies will continue to work together to ensure the safety and security of the region.
