French Rafale spots Russian Su-30SM over Baltic

French Rafale fighter jets have detected a low-flying Russian Su-30SM multirole fighter during an air patrol over the Baltic Sea. This incident marks another instance of NATO aircraft monitoring Russian military activity in the strategically sensitive Baltic region. The detection occurred as part of routine NATO air policing missions that have been intensified amid heightened tensions. The low-altitude flight pattern of the Russian aircraft suggests potential training or reconnaissance activities near NATO airspace.
