A Russian Il-20 surveillance aircraft transiting from mainland Russia to Kaliningrad through international airspace.
On 12 November, NATO fighter aircraft were scrambled to identify and escort a Russian military Il-20 flying from mainland Russia to the exclave. The aircraft had not filed a flight plan in advance, but its crew kept the onboard transponder switched on and maintained radio communication with the regional air traffic control centre.
