On November 11, Germany had to launch fighter jets twice to jointly intercept and escort a Russian Il-20M reconnaissance aircraft.

This was reported by the German Air Force on November 11.

They noted that the Russian plane was flying without a flight plan and without established radio communication.

"Our Eurofighters were alerted from Laage and Lielwarde to jointly detect and escort a Russian Il-20M without a flight plan or transponder," the statement said.

At night and in the morning of November 11, the Russian military raised bombers to practice missile launches using simulated maneuvers.

The head of the Center for Countering Disinformation, Andriy Kovalenko, claims that such maneuvers are designed to keep Russian aviation ready for possible strikes, as well as to put psychological pressure on Ukrainians. He noted that the Russians have enough missiles that continue to accumulate at strategic aviation airfields, and they are ready for potential massive attacks.

On October 19, the Romanian army detected an air target that violated the country's border near the Black Sea coast, and fighter jets were sent up to monitor the situation.

Earlier, during an attack by Russian drones in Odesa region, Romania issued a warning to the population of border settlements and deployed F-16 fighter jets.

Meanwhile, a second drone was found in northern Moldova in a day after a massive Russian drone attack against Ukraine. The enemy drone was found in a field near the village of Boroseni Noi, in the Rishkan district of Moldova. Law enforcement officers then fenced off the area around the drone's crash site so that experts could investigate it.

Moldovan Foreign Minister Mihai Popschiu condemned the violation of Moldovan airspace by two Russian drones on Sunday, November 10.
