The NATO document stated: "NATO fighter jets will fly 10 times to accompany Russian bombers and fighter jets on March 29, 2021. The accompanying areas are the North Atlantic, North Sea, Black Sea and Baltic Sea."
NATO said: "The interception of different Russian aircraft demonstrates that NATO has the will and ability to defend the sky of its allies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year."
According to NATO, NATO planes will rush to the sky and intercept unidentified planes more than 400 times in 2020, and about 90% of them are in response to Russian planes.
US media said that the relationship between NATO and Russia, led by the United States, is very tense.
Last week, US Secretary of State Blincoln stated at the NATO meeting in Brussels that Moscow had “established an army in the Baltic and Black Seas and conducted large-scale exercises and threatening operations.”
According to reports, Russian (Soviet) and Western military aircraft flew with each other and intercepted each other since the beginning of the Cold War.
In recent years, as relations between Russia and Western countries have become tense, the number of such actions by military aircraft of both sides has increased significantly.
