Between December 22 last year and January 15, 2015 NATO's interceptors based in Lithuania, Estonia and Poland did not scramble a single time to intercept Russian military planes flying close to the borders of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
That marks a notable difference to the trend in October and November when NATO jets were scrambling on an almost daily basis and intercepts included large formations of Russian nuclear bombers.
