Nato intercepts Russian warplanes violating Estonian airspace

8 comments

1. submission statement:
   Russian jets entered NATO airspace for 12 minutes. This comes on the heels of Russia testing Polish and Latvia airspace with Drones. It’s a significant escalation in an area that is very close to a hot war.

2. “Intercepts” meaning??? Escorted back across the border or shot down?

3. What are Russia’s goals here?

4. Really feels like Russia is testing the water here again, same with Poland and Romania, probing to see NATO responses.

   We really need to stand up to this.

5. Russia just testing the boundries to see what they can get away with RN

6. Taking a page out of China’s playbook: now it’s only 3 planes, tomorrow it will be 10, then 50, and next thing you know, they will fly the bombers as well too.

   And the most the EU would do is to scramble jets to intercept, as well as sending strong words.

7. One has to wonder where exactly the line is drawn, or if it’s just being erased bit by bit.

8. Do really Russia thinks it has the free pass to violate other nations airspaces, without criticism, like Israel?
