The episode took place on the afternoon of September 21, when a pair of F35A fighters of the 32° Wing task force air, redeployed to the Malbork air base, took to the skies for an 'alpha scramble' in order to intercept two unidentified aircraft, as learned coming from Russia and penetrated NATO airspace, then escorted out of the same airspace.
