The UK intercepted 21 Russian aircraft at the border of NATO airspace over the past three weeks, said British Defense Ministry Sunday.
In a statement, the ministry noted that its typhoon fighter jets stationed in Estonia have intercepted 21 different Russian aircraft.
In turn, British Defense Minister Ben Wallace affirmed, “These interceptions are a stark reminder of the value of collective defense and deterrence that NATO provides.
“The Royal Air Force has been working alongside our allies over the past three weeks to ensure the protection of Member States and our partner countries, and they can be sure of our continued support in strengthening European security along with those who share our values,” he added.
