Three Russian MiG-31 fighters violated Estonian airspace near Tallinn for 12 minutes; NATO scrambled Italian F-35A fighters in response.
On 19 September 2025, three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets violated Estonian airspace, approaching the capital Tallinn to within approximately 9 km. The aircraft circled for about 12 minutes without a flight plan, transponder, or radio contact, representing a provocative approach to a NATO member. NATO responded by deploying Italian F-35A stealth fighters from the Ämari base, causing the Russian jets to withdraw without exchange of fire.
Confidence: High
The violation of NATO airspace by Russian military interceptors without communication coupled with their provocative loitering and NATO's immediate deployment of combat aircraft clearly fits as hostile conventional military pressure activity.
