2014年6月17日，波罗的海附近国际空域，英国空军第3战斗机中队的“台风”战斗机拦截俄罗斯空军“红色37”A-50U 空中预警机。此次被拦截的俄机还包括4架Su-27战斗机、一架Tu-22轰炸机，以及一架An-26电子情报机。此类拦截是北约波罗的海空中警戒任务的一部分，波罗的海三国（爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛）于2004年3月29日加入北约，但因为他们没有独立空军力量，造成此地成为北约在空防上的一个漏洞，为了填补空防缺口，自2004年3月30日起，北约各国空军每三个月轮调一次，进驻立陶宛希奥利艾机场，对进入波罗的海上空无法识别的飞机进行拦截，驻防数量通常为4架战斗机以及50到100名地勤人员。（Image of a Russian Beriev A50 ‘Mainstay’ early warning aircraft during the intercept.RAF Typhoons were yesterday (Tuesday 17 June) scrambled to intercept multiple Russian aircraft as part of NATO’s ongoing mission to police Baltic airspace.The Typhoon aircraft, from 3 (Fighter) Squadron, were launched after four separate groups of aircraft were detected by NATO air defences in international airspace near to the Baltic States.Once airborne, the British jets identified the aircraft as a Russian Tupolev Tu22 ‘Backfire’ bomber, four Sukhoi Su27 ‘Flanker’ fighters, one Beriev A50 ‘Mainstay’ early warning aircraft and an Antonov An26 ‘Curl’ transport aircraft who appeared to be carrying out a variety of routine training.
