Three 🇷🇺 Russian fighter jets flew into NATO member Estonia's airspace on Friday in what would appear to be the third attempt by the Kremlin this month to test NATO’s eastern border.

The MiG-31 aircraft heavy interceptors capable of carrying Russia’s Kinzhal hypersonic missile entered via the Gulf of Finland. The jets circled for about 12 minutes and NATO scrambled Italian F-35s to repel them.

The incursion comes after Russia last week also sent drones into Poland and Romania, two other frontline NATO members.

"The Russians have been flying this exact airspace for decades. It's difficult to see how this wasn't intentional," a U.S. official told POLITICO.

Estonia in response is invoking NATO's Article 4, which requires alliance members to convene for urgent talks, Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna confirmed to POLITICO.

“This is yet another example of reckless Russian behaviour and NATO’s ability to respond,” NATO spokesperson Allison Hart said.

EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas described the incursion as "an extremely dangerous provocation," adding that the EU "will continue to support our member states in strengthening their defences with European resources."

Estonia said it has also summoned Russia’s chargé d’affaires in Tallinn.

“Russia has violated Estonian airspace four times already this year, which is unacceptable in itself, but today’s violation, during which three fighter jets entered our airspace, is unprecedentedly brutal,” Tsahkna said.

“Russia’s ever-increasing testing of borders and aggression must be responded to by rapidly strengthening political and economic pressure.”

Earlier this month, Poland reported more than a dozen Russian drones crossed its border overnight, with some heading toward the strategic hub of Rzeszów. P


Polish forces, backed by NATO allies, shot down several drones and later also invoked NATO's Article 4. Warsaw called the incident a deliberate Russian provocation.

On Sept. 12, NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte announced the launch of the “Eastern Sentry” mission to bolster defenses on the alliance’s eastern flank in response to the Russian drone incursion.

Romania has also faced repeated violations, including a drone tracked for nearly 50 minutes in its airspace in mid-September. Fragments from earlier Russian attacks in Ukraine have repeatedly landed on Romanian territory.

Announcing a new round of EU sanctions on Russian energy and financial transactions on Friday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen deplored that in recent days "Russian drones have violated our union's airspace, both in Poland and in Romania."

What you don't know is there is usually a warning to the invading plane to change course.

And when the plane refuses to change course, e go collect wotowoto.

The Russian planes left Estonian airspace after they were warned.

WriterrNg:
Russia have entered NATO airspace and ignored warnings many times before. It isn't new.

deji68:
NATO planes too enter Russia airspace

Putin mocking Europe just because Donald Trump his friend is looking the other way.


I don't blame Putin sha, I blame Donald Trump who emboldened Putin with his indifferent attitude towards the war in Ukraine.


Honestly Trump's regime will affect America so bad that most of their allies will never trust America again even after Trump is gone

Pentagon007:
Russia will keep on poking NATO until the day NATO will shoot down their jets. The world is watching and taking note of who the aggressor is.

WriterrNg:
Oya tell us wetin US fit do? if na Biden be President.

Is this is the first time Russia is entering NATO airspace?

Even during Biden regime, Russian jets enter NATO airspace, even Alaska.

franchasofficia:
Biden is an old man that doesn't know anything happening around him.


Putin cannot dare the nonsense things he has been doing if someone like George Bush was the US President, if he dare, George Bush will strike Russia and damn the consequences. That outdated Russian nuclear weapon will be dared and I tell you that it may detonate within Russian territory if Putin dare try to propel it towards US homeland.

Putin was Russian president during Bush time and Russian jets still entered NATO airspace.

Russia does not give a fvck who the President of America is.

The Americans can't do nothing about anything concerning Russia.

franchasofficia:
My friend, Russia can never match US, they are only barking to tell US to stay away from them just as a small bingo barks to make a Tiger to leave him alone.

I know you are just an America hater that found sudden love in Putin's foolish acts, I say this because you don't seem to know world history one bit.


United States of America helped USSR to defeat German Nazis that have already penetrated Russia and taken over Leningrad, Stalingrad and Moscow all the way from far away Germany. Just with less than 15million soldiers, Germany conquered USSR that comprised of 15 countries in less than two months.

USSR lost over 15million soldiers while Germany lost just 7million in all the war they fought on western and Eastern fronts fighting Allied Forces comprising of UK, Poland, France, Australia, Canada, USSR, etc.


It was lend lease help that US offered to USSR that helped them win the war plus the fact that Germany soldiers were overstretched fighting on too many fronts and moving deep into USSR that was a versed land mass before winter caught up with them and scattered their military logistics.


But in all these, you don't want to go back and learn from history that US can destroy Russia if a no nonsense President arise in US.


If Putin was the President of America, with his reckless use of power and wickedness, he would have destroyed Russia without minding any consequences that will come.


So quit the kiddo talks of Russia daring NATO, Russia cannot even win Germany or France on a one on one faceoff talk less of NATO. Putin is lucky western countries have embraced peace and humanity, he would have been chased out of power since, na today

WriterrNg:
Was that the question you asked?

If they can't match US, why is the US asking more countries to join NATO to be able to face the Russia that cannot match them??

32 against 1 Russia, yet they can't still face Russia. Had to hide behind Ukraine instead of confronting directly.

By the Soviet collapse was an internal issue with even Russia fully supporting the breakup.

franchasofficia:
US alone will destroy Russia but they will also pay heavy price.

nedu666:
So you think a war between Russia and nato will involve use of missiles. No way it will be a nuclear holocaust
