      @SHamiltonian Jokes aside, it’s actually possible it was the only plane available: NATO members rotate their aircrafts to protect the Baltic states airspace, and they usually only send a couple of them France sent 4 Rafale in 2014 for instance lefigaro.fr/international/2014/04/29/01003-20140429ARTFIG00255-des-avions-rafale-dans-le-ciel-balte-pour-rassurer-les-pays-de-l-otan.php

        @SHamiltonian Eurofighter have usually poor availability, and assuming some of them were in maintenance mode, it’s definitely possible this one was the only available for an actual mission

          @SHamiltonian Spain dispatched seven Eurofighter in Lituania and the emergency involved two unidentified Russian planes - which I’m assuming requires more than just one plane to conduct the interception! reuters.com/world/europe/spanish-pm-news-conference-lithuania-halted-urgent-jet-takeoff-2021-07-08/
