The U.S. has sent two of its newest and most advanced jets belonging to the US Air Force to the Baltic state of Estonia for the first time on Tuesday to continue in demonstrating its military might.


Nato allies, including Britain, have sent troops to the countries which border Russia as a result of repeated shows of strength by Russian leader Mr Putin, including the annexation of Crimea.

The F-35 stealth fighters are part of broader US jet pilot training across Europe as the Nato alliance seeks to deter the Kremlin from any possible invasion in the Baltics.

Trump flexed his military might as the pair of jets flew from Britain and spent several hours in Estonia.
