NATO-jagerfly identificerer russisk Il-20 fra Kaliningrad mod det russiske fastland over Østersøen

Den 5. september 2026 blev jagerfly fra NATOs baltiske luftrumsovervågning sendt op for at identificere et russisk Il-20-rekognosceringsfly, der rejste fra Ruslands Kaliningrad-oblast mod det russiske fastland. Litauens forsvarsministerium oplyser, at flyet forblev i internationalt luftrum under hele den rapporterede flyvning. Il-20 fløj uden aktiveret radartransponder og uden indsendt flyveplan, hvilket fik NATO-jagerflyene til at identificere flyet som en del af Alliancens rutinemæssige baltiske luftrumsovervågningsmission. Det russiske fly opretholdt ikke desto mindre radiokommunikation med det regionale center for flyvekontrol.

On 5 September 2026, NATO Baltic Air Policing fighters were scrambled to identify a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft travelling from Russia’s Kaliningrad Oblast toward mainland Russia. The Lithuanian Ministry of National Defence states that the aircraft remained in international airspace throughout the reported flight. The Il-20 was operating without an activated radar transponder and without a filed flight plan, conditions that prompted NATO fighters to identify the aircraft as part of the Alliance’s routine Baltic Air Policing mission. The Russian aircraft nevertheless maintained radio communications with the regional air-traffic control centre.
