"An SU-30 fighter and a refuelling tanker entered the airspace of the NATO member country for 18 seconds, Lithuania's military said."
"Two aircraft belonging to the Russian military crossed the border and entered the airspace of NATO member Lithuania for 19 seconds, the country's army said."
"The aircraft, a fighter jet and a tanker, flew 700 meters into Lithuania from the Kaliningrad region, possibly due to being on a refuelling training mission."
On October 23, 2025, an SU-30 fighter and a refuelling tanker entered Lithuanian airspace for roughly 18–19 seconds. The two Russian military aircraft crossed the border from the Kaliningrad region and penetrated approximately 700 meters into Lithuanian territory. The aircraft composition—one fighter and one tanker—and the short duration are consistent with a refuelling training mission conducted near NATO airspace. Reported durations vary slightly between 18 and 19 seconds. The incursion lasted under twenty seconds, involved close-range flight from Kaliningrad, and produced limited airspace exposure. Further operational details and intent remain unconfirmed.
