Russia’s FSB claims to have foiled a Western-backed plot to steal a MiG-31 jet. A Russian pilot says he was offered $3 million and foreign citizenship for the theft. The jet carried a Kinzhal hypersonic missile – one of Moscow’s prized assets. The FSB accuses Ukraine and Britain’s MI6 of planning a “major provocation.” The plane was allegedly to be flown toward a NATO base in Romania. Russia calls it proof of Western involvement in Ukraine’s covert war.
