Warsaw: A Russian jet intercepted a Polish Border Force fighter jet flying over the Black Sea, forcing the Polish plane to make an emergency landing in Romania.
According to the World News Agency, a Russian fighter jet intercepted a Polish plane patrolling for the European Union’s border agency over the Black Sea, as a result of which the pilot temporarily lost control of the plane.
Russia claimed that the aircraft of the Polish Border Force approached our border guard aircraft three times aggressively and dangerously without notifying the control tower and without maintaining the required safety distance.
The statement said that due to the timely response of the Russian aircraft, the Polish aircraft faced an emergency situation and the pilot lost control of the aircraft and was forced to take a low flight while flying high.
On the other hand, Poland says that the Russian plane made a deliberate attempt to damage our plane and pilot by flying at a distance of about five meters in front of our plane.
The spokesman of the Polish army said that our plane made an emergency landing in Romania due to the aggression of the Russian plane. Pilot and crew are safe.
