Reuters: Russia Scrambles Jet as France, Germany Conduct NATO Patrols
(Reuters) -Russia's defence ministry scrambled a fighter jet on Monday after it said it detected French and German patrol aircraft flying towards Russian airspace, the ministry said in a statement.
France and Germany said its planes - a French Atlantic 2 maritime patrol aircraft and a German P-3C Orion - were conducting regular flights as part of a NATO exercise and behaved in accordance with international law.
Russia said its Su-27 jet returned to base after the French and German ones turned away from Russia, the defence ministry said, adding that it had scrambled the jet to "prevent the Russian state border being violated."

Shoot the Progressive Nato Nazi warplanes down already. The pilots will burn in hell where they belong. With the rest of the pedophiles that they are fighting for ✈️ 💥 💀 🔥
lol oh well
If it was the germans and the French, why even bother. These guys aren't going to do anything.
Now the Brits and the Amies? You got to watch those guys.
NATO should sortie right up to the border and loiter to wear out Russian airframes and fuel budget.
Yes while wearing out there own.
But of course it is wearing out both sides.
NATO can handle it better.
Seen Russia's surface fleet in the last 2 decades?
level of stupidity, aerial interception with old generation fighters, well you need a flying saucer or drone
