The plane flew without a signal. As part of NATO, Germany participates in air surveillance over theBaltic states, which do not have their own combat aircraft. There have been several incidents with Russian military planes in the Baltic region in the past. The Russian aircraft was flying without a transponder signal, the air force said.
