During an exercise in the North Atlantic, the Russian frigate Admiral Gorshkov locked its sights on NATO aircraft.

It was about a P-8 reconnaissance plane and two other aircraft from NATO.

The Russian Navy shared a video on Telegram showing the incident.

In a video shared by the Russian Defense Forces on Telegram, crew members of the warship Admiral Gorshkov can be seen targeting a NATO aircraft.

Probably Norwegian aircraft

The film shows how the aircraft flies low and ends up in the frigate's line of sight.

It is not clear on the film from which country the reconnaissance aircraft comes, but according to The Barents Observer it is likely from Norway.

Only Norway, the United States and the United Kingdom use the P-8 aircraft type, according to the newspaper.

The Russian warship is marked with a "V", one of the symbols used by the Russian military in their war of aggression against Ukraine.
