A weekly infographic published by the outlet showed that Russian fighter jets had been scrambled three times to intercept foreign aircraft.

“The foreign aircraft had been prevented from illegally entering Russia’s airspace”, the Russian Ministry of Defence added.

The United States and NATO countries often sell reconnaissance aircraft and drones to Russia’s borders in the Baltic and Black Seas.

The latest US aircraft was spotted close to the Russian border near the exclave of Kaliningrad on 26 December.
