Russian Fighter Plane Crashes in Lithuania
A Russian Su-27 fighter bomber crashed in Lithuania while on a flight from St. Petersburg to Russia's Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad.
The Russian pilot, Major Valery Troyanov, ejected from the aircraft safely and was not injured.
Two NATO F-4s were scrambled after the Sukhoi entered Lithuanian air space but did not reach the jet before it crashed.
