Ursula von der Leyen's plane makes emergency landing in Bulgaria: pilot used paper maps.

According to inkorr.com: A plane carrying European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen made an emergency landing at Plovdiv airport due to GPS issues. The pilot was forced to use paper maps for landing as the electronic navigation systems failed. This incident may be regarded as a possible interference by Russia.

After an hour of waiting in the air, the pilot decided to make a manual landing using paper maps.

The planned meeting of Ursula von der Leyen with the Prime Minister of Bulgaria and a visit to the ammunition manufacturing plant will take place after the technical problems with the plane are resolved.

On August 26, a Russian reconnaissance plane intercepted near Alaska

American fighters intercepted a Russian reconnaissance plane Il-20 near Alaska for the third time in a week. Although the plane was in the air defense zone, it remained in international airspace.

NORAD considers such incidents routine and notes that they do not pose a threat to national security. The command supports a surveillance system that detects and tracks all aircraft in the region to ensure safety.

Ursula von der Leyen intends to visit Plovdiv airport after the emergency landing to continue her official program in Bulgaria. Meanwhile, a Russian fighter was again spotted on the borders of Alaska; however, its trajectory was monitored by American fighters, and the plane remained in safe international airspace.

The incident with Ursula von der Leyen's plane draws attention to security issues in European airspace amidst rising tensions between the West and Russia. Meanwhile, regular interceptions of Russian aircraft near Alaska underscore the ongoing monitoring of the situation by American military, indicating a high level of readiness for potential threats in the region.
