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.

The word "scrambled" really irritates me in the context of dispatching jets to intercept something. Always makes it seem like the jets were "scrambled" in an unorganised way or something.

It's a military term from long before you were born, I think you might just need to get used to it 😁
