Baltic Sea Ruckus: A Warning Shot Across the Bow The recent near miss between a Danish helicopter and a Russian frigate in the Baltic Sea has sent shockwaves through the region, with both sides trading blame for the incident.
Russia's ambassador to Denmark, Vladimir Barbin, quickly condemned what he called "dangerous maneuvers" by the Danish aircraft, while Denmark's Defence Minister Jeppe Bruus retorted that the Russian frigate's use of flares was a deeply unprofessional move.
This incident appears to be just another in a long line of tense confrontations between Russia and its NATO allies.
