Above our islands. Really bizarre. [/quote] They've been doing this for years. It was one of Soesterberg's missions to intercept when it was still open. [/quote] Yes you are correct. But not the last years. In the past they did also an lot. It is not far from my place only 80 km. And in 10 minutes i'm with my car in Germany. It is to close. [/quote] Interesting, I'm glad you got a break from it. It IS too close. Soesterberg should've never been closed, but "they" didn't ask me. It never made sense to me. [/quote] They cut everything down. It is also not far from our Leeuwarden air base. they were only about 60 km away. There are also often American f15 fighter jets Yes Soesterberg is more in the middle Netherlands leeuwarden in the North. Pff i hope we go out the EU and do like UK. [/quote]

Translated;
BRUSSELS - Two Belgian F-16s intercepted two Russian military planes on Monday morning approaching Dutch airspace over the North Sea. Belgian military sources report this.
Belgium is currently responsible for the defense of Benelux airspace. [
