The RC-135V electronic reconnaissance aircraft, flying from Mildenhall Air Base in the UK, flew over the Baltic and Poland near the border of the Kaliningrad Oblast. Another aircraft, a US Navy Boeing P-8A Poseidon, flying from Emari Air Base in Estonia, also flew over the Baltic near the border of the Kaliningrad Oblast.
According to the Defense Ministry, in just one week at the end of April, 17 foreign aircraft conducted reconnaissance near Russia's borders. Russian air defense fighter jets were scrambled dozens of times to intercept and closely escort these spy planes.
