NATO air police conducted surveillance operations over several days, monitoring the movements of various Russian military aircraft near international borders and within the Kaliningrad region. On Monday, NATO air police were tasked with identifying two SU-30 aircraft. These aircraft were observed flying in international airspace between the Kaliningrad region and within the region itself.
Reports indicated that these movements occurred without the use of radar, without submitted flight plans, and without maintaining radio communication with the Regional Control Center (RVC). The monitoring expanded on Tuesday, when NATO air police patrolled near the Polish and Ukrainian border. On this day, surveillance also focused on identifying several other types of aircraft, including the SU-35, IL-76, SU-24, SU-34, AN-30, and AN-12.
The recorded movements for these varied aircraft spanned between the Russian mainland and the Kaliningrad region. Similar to the previous day, some of these aircraft were noted to operate without radar tracking, without official flight plans, and without maintaining radio contact with the RVC. The activity continued on Wednesday, as NATO air police patrolled near the eastern border separating Latvia and Estonia.
These combined operations highlighted the consistent monitoring efforts by NATO assets regarding the airspace movements of various military aircraft within the broader region.
