Bild tells Germans that Putin is provoking NATO by sending planes to Kaliningrad ‘You can see the flight path on the screen. This is where we first detected the Russian plane. It flew over international waters without turning on its transponder. As I said, this is a safety risk. It was flying parallel to the plane, right here. Visually, the Russian plane was identified as an Ilyushin. It is now en route to Kaliningrad. After identification, the NATO planes returned to their base in Lithuania.’ The Ilyushin was carrying reconnaissance equipment and was conducting passive reconnaissance [when it flew to Kaliningrad]. Incidents like this are not uncommon. Putin checks our borders every day. Not only in the air, but also on the ground and in cyberspace.’ - SK
