Two Hungarian Gripen fighter jets were scrambled on September 25 from Šiauliai Air Base in Lithuania as part of NATO’s Baltic Air Policing mission, NATO Air Command reported on September 25.
The jets intercepted a formation of Russian aircraft—including a Su-30, a Su-35, and three MiG-31s—flying near Latvian airspace.
I thought it was some sort of electronic hacking at first. Where the jets electronic systems are being attacked.
I only have experience of eggs getting scrambled. The verb seems weird when applied to planes.
