Russian Defence Ministry: Russian Fighters Did Not Violate Estonian Airspace
Russian Defence Ministry stated that three MiG-31 fighters followed a pre-planned route over neutral Baltic Sea waters without breaching borders, confirmed by objective monitoring.
- On September 20, 2025, Estonia accused three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets of violating its airspace near Vaindloo Island for 12 minutes.
- This incident followed heightened tensions after Russia's scheduled flight from Karelia to Kaliningrad, which Russia said complied with international airspace rules.
- NATO intercepted the Russian jets and Estonia summoned Russia's charge d'affaires, issuing a formal protest over what it called a brazen violation.
- Russia's Defense Ministry denied the breach, posting on Telegram that independent monitoring confirmed no border violations during the flight.
- The airspace breach triggered Estonia's invocation of NATO's Article 4 and reflects ongoing strained relations amid repeated Russian provocations in the Baltic region.
