💨 Abstract

The UK reported intercepting two Russian aircraft over the Baltic Sea near NATO airspace on separate occasions, marking the first action under Operation Chessman. This operation involves the deployment of Royal Air Force planes and personnel at Malbork Air Base in Poland along with Sweden to strengthen NATO's eastern defense. These incidents follow the UK's commitment to increase defense spending to 2.5%
