(emphasis added) >Poland’s Operational Command of the Armed Forces said a pair of F-16s on duty intercepted, visually identified and monitored the Russian multirole aircraft **on Friday.**  >The jets were flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea without a filed flight plan and with their transponders switched off, the command said, adding that there had been no violation of Polish airspace.   >The incident comes amid heightened regional tensions linked to Russia’s full‑scale war in Ukraine, now in its fifth year.  >Any breach of Poland’s security and that of the region will be met with an immediate NATO response,” Tomczyk wrote on the X platform.   >The[ Su-30 i](https://tvpworld.com/86359172/ukraine-claims-50-mln-russian-plane-destroyed-in-airfield-sabotage)s a multirole fighter aircraft developed by Russia to handle a range of missions including air-to-air combat, air-to-ground strikes and long-range patrols and e***** missions.   >**On April 9,** Polish F-16 fighter jets intercepted [a Russian reconnaissance aircraft ](https://tvpworld.com/92547464/polish-f-16s-intercept-russian-il-20-reconnaissance-plane-over-baltic)over the Baltic Sea, marking the second such incident in the first part of the month.   This was a repeat occurrence.
