NATO issued a strong warning to Russia, vowing to use all necessary means to defend against airspace violations following recent incidents. Russian drones were shot down over Poland and Estonia reported Russian fighter jets intruding into its airspace. NATO's response underscores its commitment to Article 5, collective defense. While some NATO members advocate for shooting down unauthorized aircraft, others favor a case-by-case assessment. The incidents have raised concerns about NATO's preparedness and Russia's escalating aggression, prompting calls for stronger deterrence.
