Is Russia under NATO’s radar? A US reconnaissance aircraft, the Bombardier ARTEMIS II, has reportedly made repeated flights near Russia’s western borders, twice in a single day. Flight data cited by Russia’s RIA Novosti shows the aircraft operating near the strategically sensitive Kaliningrad region before heading towards Estonia, where it reportedly came within tens of kilometres of the Russian border. Converted from a business jet, the ARTEMIS II is equipped for radar and electronic reconnaissance missions, allowing it to gather intelligence over vast areas. Moscow has repeatedly warned of what it calls unprecedented NATO military activity along its western frontier. The flights come amid heightened geopolitical tensions, as G7 foreign ministers meet in Paris and US-mediated Russia-Ukraine talks are set to take place in Abu Dhabi. With Washington discussing a broader European security arrangement, questions are mounting over NATO’s military posture and the future of Europe’s security architecture. Is the US stepping up surveillance near Russia as diplomatic efforts intensify? Josh Barnes brings you the story on Firstpost Live.
