1 week agoUK should shoot Russian jets in Nato airspace, says Farage
Nigel Farage said Britain should shoot down Russian jets entering NATO airspace and would send British troops to Ukraine only as UN peacekeepers.
Dutch military photos showed an F-35 stealth fighter sporting a fresh drone-shaped kill mark after the advanced jet was used to shoot down Russian drones that violated alliance airspace. The images from the Netherlands' defense ministry show the marking on the fuselage, just below the cockpit. The marking, not displayed on other F-35 fighter jets, distinctly resembles the triangular Delta-wing one-way attack drones Russia uses.
Early on Thursday, Danish authorities reported that more than one drone had been spotted near Aalborg airport in the Jutland region of northern Denmark. The airport is used for both commercial and military flights, and its closure disrupted military operations, according to the police. The Danish police said the drone sightings in Aalborg followed a similar pattern to those that halted flights at Copenhagen airport for four hours on Monday, when several large, unidentified drones were spotted near the capital's airport.
