British and German fighter jets intercepted a Russian plane near the airspace of the European country of Estonia.
This was the first such joint operation by the two countries.
2 Typhoons intercepted Il-78 Midas aircraft on 14 March.
The Russian plane was flying between St Petersburg and Kaliningrad and failed to contact Estonian air traffic control.
Joint NATO air patrols are currently being conducted in the region by British and German air forces.
Although it is not unusual to intercept an aircraft in this way, this is the first time that the two countries have jointly conducted such an operation.
This incident also shows the tension between NATO and Russia due to the attack on Ukraine.
Fighter jets from both countries also intercepted a 148 airliner that was flying close to Estonian airspace.
The incident occurred when a Russian warplane collided with an American drone while flying over the Black Sea on March 14.
The US military says that the US drone MQ-9 has crashed in the Black Sea after being intercepted by a Russian Su-27 fighter jet.
According to US military officials, the drone was in international airspace when a Russian warplane attempted to intercept it.
According to the authorities, the Russian plane collided with the drone while trying to intercept it, resulting in the total destruction of the American drone.
