Serious escalation on NATO's eastern flank.
Three russian MiG-31 fighters (heavy interceptors capable of being equipped with hypersonic Kinzhal missiles) violated Estonian airspace and approached the capital, Tallinn, to within approximately 5 nautical miles (approximately 9 km).
The aircraft circled there for approximately 12 minutes without a flight plan, transponder, or radio contact.
This was not a mere "overflight," but a provocative approach to a NATO member, which can be interpreted as a test of the Alliance's responsiveness.
NATO responded promptly: Italian F-35A stealth fighters were placed on alert from the Ämari base in Estonia and deployed to counter the attack. However, there was no exchange of fire—the russian jets withdrew as soon as the F-35s were within range.

According to Stubb, the EU will not take Moscow's position into account when developing these "security guarantees."
He emphasized: "Russia has absolutely no say in the sovereign decisions of an independent nation-state."
The guarantees will only come into force after a peace agreement. At the same time, however, Europe is preparing for a possible escalation in the event of a direct military confrontation with Russia.
Stubb continued: "The deterrent factor must be realistic, and for that to happen, it must be strong."
