[Spooky Shortie]

Russia have breached Estonian Airspace by flying three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets over the Gulf of Finland for a total of 12 minutes without permission.

This is becoming quite scary and often does make you wonder what Russia is playing at.

NATO says it has responded after Russian military jets "violated" Estonian airspace.

In a statement, the Estonian government said the incident involved three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets that flew over the Gulf of Finland for a total of 12 minutes without permission.

A NATO spokesperson said the Russian jets "violated Estonian airspace" and "NATO responded immediately and intercepted the Russian aircraft".

"This is yet another example of reckless Russian behaviour and NATO's ability to respond."

The Russia breaching the Estonia airspace is worrisome, especially with NATO already on the edge. Even if that particular incident lasted for 12 minutes, it is sending a strong political message which needs to be attended to because small actions like this can escalate into bigger ones.
