U.S. Air Force Air Policing Scramble From UK

U.S. Air Force F-15s from RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom, executed a standard intercepts during a regular and routine Baltic Air Policing occurrence in a safe and professional manner. It was initiated because the other aircraft didn't broadcast the requisite codes and didn't have a flight plan on file with air traffic control.

I want to try the US force program it looks interesting and fun and the same time it looks hard

[LibertyFirst]

they said "safe and professional manner" enough times that I'm sure something went wrong because someone was acting like a clown.

Awesome job powerful and training as well ...Excellent job thank you so much for everything...

I'd be curious to know if the NATO pilots are excited to scramble or a little jittery. Especially when you intercept and it's a pair of some of the most state of the art jets Russia has

I am amused that they use the Star Trek red-alert sound.

Pls try to tell homework.. Peacekeeping wise.. To the general public.. thanks..

Interesting that the F-15s were scrambled from Lakenheath, surely other aircraft would be closer to the Baltic States performing the same mission.

U people are more lucky and proud to get this job from India

[horatiusebastian]

How are they flying so close to Russian fighters

[vladgray]

Good job, guys! And I want to say that Russia can not be trusted completely! Since even Ronald Reagan said: "Trust, but verify".

Very sadly the current air-policing mission over Baltic States today remains more validated than it was say just 5-6 years ago, let alone when the basic mission first began.. Whereas the very clear 'hostile challenges' to Baltic states' basic security, sovereignty and wider region security seems to be increasing over the past 5 yrs and not decreasing.

That is, whether it's some official agenda by a predetermined hawkish Kremlin camp to intentionally counter a de-escalation process and cooperative path, at least until they feel perhaps they can achieve sufficient strategic leverage over EU/NATO to dictate the terms of 'cooperation', e.g., it's very unfortunately just not known. Respects and keep the hopes up..
