Both NATO and Russia scrambled warplanes in a dramatic 'dogfight' above the Baltic after a major standoff over a tanker in Vladimir Putin's shadow fleet.
Estonian forces sought to board the 'Gabon-flagged' oil tanker Jaguar using a patrol vessel and helicopter, as well as a surveillance watercraft.
The Russian-bound ship is suspected of being used by Moscow as part of its shadow fleet to avoid international sanctions.
It was sanctioned by Britain on Friday.
NATO aircraft - including Polish MiG-29s - were scrambled as the vessel refused to cooperate.
