I imagine the comms would have been something like this: Minsk Control: FR4978 please divert immediately to Minsk due to potential bomb threat. FR4978: Minsk Control, by our readings we are closer to our destination Vilnius than to Minsk. By the way, can you explain why a Belarusian fighter jet is flying alongside us? (silence) FR4978: Minsk Control, do you copy? (silence) Minsk Control: We said PLEASE. (silence) FR4978: Ohhh-kay then. Minsk it is!
