US fighter jets are taking over a policing mission on Russia's borders in Europe

US Air Force Photo The U.S. will take over the Baltic air policing mission next month in an effort to guard airspace over Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, U.S. European Command said Wednesday. Air Force F-15C Eagles from the 48th Fighter Wing, RAF Lakenheath, United Kingdom, will lead the next NATO Baltic Air Policing rotation at Šiauliai Air Base, Lithuania, EUCOM said. The F-15s, acting as a quick reactionary force, will surveil the air until the end of the year. The US last was part of the Baltic Air Policing mission in 2014, the same time Russia annexed Crimea.
