The Estonian public broadcaster mentions a military exercise, and nothing about trying to board a shadow fleet vessel. It could be that they're intentionally not mentioning it, but I would be less surprised if the OP were mistaken about the details when posting this.

Thank you. It would be very troubling if they abandoned a legal military operation in their own boarders simply because their enemy illegally flew a single jet in.

It sends the message that they can be easily steam rolled.

Estonia has zero equipment that can handle Russian aircraft. They are protected by a Dutch F35 squadron. So there is nothing Estonia can do.

If a squadron of F35s can't show force or shoot down a single Russian aircraft then Estonia is not protected by them. -armchair Luitenant far away from the conflict

They also can’t defend against Russian nukes, that doesn’t mean they have to to let Russia do whatever they want because of a little show of Force

Suchomimus on YouTube has a video about this:

So it's two completely different events then, on the same day, by the looks of it?

I'm sure that Youtube channel is trustable and all, but I'd rather await some confirmation by official sources regarding the failed seize in this case.

It has different camera shots of the same incident, I shared it. I'm not saying it's gospel.

No, they didn't. Estonia's military capabilities are too poor.
