The Russian Armed Forces detected 25 foreign jets that were engaged in reconnaissance activities close to Russia’s airspace last week, the military’s official newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda reported on Friday.

A weekly infographic published by the outlet showed that Russian fighter jets had been scrambled twice to intercept foreign aircraft. The foreign aircraft had been prevented from illegally entering Russia’s airspace, the newspaper said.

Within the past week, Russia has also spotted seven unmanned aerial vehicles carrying out reconnaissance missions near Russia's borders.
