NATO Member Estonia Says A Russian War Plane Entered Estonia's Airspace For The 6th Time This Year

NBC/Reuters: Russian plane enters NATO member Estonia's airspace for 6th time this year  

"Such a series of repeated violations is by no means acceptable," Estonia's Foreign Ministry said. 

NATO member Estonia said Thursday that a Russian air force plane violated its airspace in what the Baltic nation alleged was the sixth such incident this year by a Russian aircraft. 

The alleged intrusion took place at noon Wednesday as the Beriev A-50 plane entered Estonia's airspace near the Baltic Sea island of Vaindloo and stayed there for less than one minute, Estonia's military said in a statement. 

 It added that the Russian plane's crew had presented a flight plan but failed to maintain radio contact with Estonian Air Navigation Services and had the plane's transponder switched off.
