"The Foreign Secretary has told the United Nation Security Council in New York that Russia is risking "direct confrontation" with NATO by violating the alliance's airspace. On 10 September Russia launched 19 "suicide drones" which "violated" Polish airspace and were shot down by NATO jets. On 13 September Russian drones violated Polish and Romanian airspace whilst Ukraine was under a major aerial bombardment."
"Germany preparing for 1,000 wounded troops a day in the event of war with Russia Cooper told the UN Security Council, "If we need to confront planes that are operating in NATO airspace without permission, we will do so." She said, "At worst, they are a deliberate attempt to undermine the territorial integrity of sovereign nations and European security. "They risk miscalculation, they open the door to direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia.""
Russia has repeatedly violated NATO airspace, including 19 "suicide drones" over Poland on 10 September, drones breaching Polish and Romanian airspace on 13 September during a major Ukrainian aerial bombardment, and three MiG-31 fighters entering Estonian airspace on 19 September. The British Foreign Secretary warned these incursions risk miscalculation and direct armed confrontation between NATO and Russia, and affirmed the United Kingdom's readiness to take necessary steps to defend NATO skies and territory. Allied leaders urged unity and decisive response, while Germany is preparing medical capacity for high casualty rates in the event of war.
