On 13 November 2024, NATO’s air defences responded to Russian aircraft approaching international airspace in the Baltic Sea and off Norway’s coast.
In an operation coordinated under NATO’s authority, Italian and Norwegian fighter jets scrambled to intercept and identify multiple Russian aircraft that were not adhering to international flight norms.
As reported by NATO Air Command on social media, Italian fighter jets intercepted a Russian Coot-A over the Baltic Sea, while Norwegian F-35s were dispatched to identify and monitor multiple Russian aircraft flying near the Norwegian coast.
The NATO response underscores the alliance’s commitment to maintaining airspace security and upholding international norms, with NATO’s air policing missions continuing to ensure that any potential threat is managed effectively.

This event follows similar intercepts in recent months as NATO works to counter increasing military activity in its area of responsibility.
why do we intercept, when russian bombers and fighters fly into airspace they have no right to be in, we have done this for almost 70 years and still they persist.
it is about time we stopped this policy and just shoot them down, surely this is justified. there is no way in this day and age that armed russian bombers and fighters can ‘stray accidentally’ into british airspace as they so casually do. maye if we accidentally shot down every incursion, the incursions would stop.
if the other fellow wont abide by the rules, what binds us to abide by them.
Would you consider starting WW3 as justification for this ?.
International flight norms do not mean they entered territory.

What i found curious is the widespread censorship of Houthis/Iran recent attack against 2 USN destroyers.
If they were in international airspace they have every right to fly there as we do.
It’s when they turn transponders off that things get dodgy.
It’s all a game and NATO aircraft also fly around the periphery of Russia.
Historically, it was the west that flew over Russian territory, not the other way round.
Just look back in past.how did it go for the ones that did fly into ussr.airsp. even if it was a com.aircraft.so why do we set these policies ,if they already know the outcome.is it not time to stop talking .and do more responding. If we all keep barking ,they will never know of a bite.im proud of the un.im from usa but I can’t say that for us.we send ships and now b2 wt more fighter jets.and for what.when we see time and time now.ussr goes on and does As it feels.they can blast down to the ground all of Ukraine building.not giving a darn if it’s homes that people live in .but we usa .give to Ukraine the means to do the same to ussr.but want let then.so ussr knowing of this.jyst keeps on blasting away.what good are we .each country that says to the outhers.i got your back my friend.but time comes you show the colors of your truth.boots need to be their wt Ukraine military. Same number that was sent to fight side by side in ussr.so if all we usa and Un going to do is put a buildup to try keep ussr from doing somthing.please let me asm.what has it stopped.when the time has come to stand up right.be the friend u said u are.then no matter what.do the dam right thing.no one will fault you for doing what’s right.but thus cowardly act of finger pointing .don’t do it don’t you dare.is not in no way working.ussr has been beat down wt the death of there men and women. So they done what had to be done .and didn’t ask no one.done what they had to do.now who is fighting with them.then ask all of you all.who is helping a little place called Ukraine.
