The aircraft took off at approximately 07:56 GMT from an airbase east of the Polish city of Malbork, made a detour, and headed east. It flew over Polish and Lithuanian territory along the entire land border of the Kaliningrad region, subsequently focusing on a short stretch near the region's maritime border. As of 10:29 GMT, the aircraft was over the sea, moving northwest. On Tuesday, an aircraft of the same type, which had also taken off from Poland, was spotted near the borders of the Kaliningrad region. On Monday, a similar aircraft flew near the borders of Russia's Kaliningrad, Pskov, and Leningrad regions, as well as near the borders of Belarus. In recent years, Russia has been flagging up NATO's unprecedented activity and buildup of troops near its western borders. The Kremlin has stated that Russia does not threaten anyone, but would not ignore actions that are potentially dangerous to its interests.
