"The Kremlin has issued a warning to the West that should they "shoot down" any Russian warplanes this will be treated as an "act of war." The US President told NATO earlier this week during his speech at the UN Security Council in New York that Russian aircraft that violate the alliance's sovereign airspace must be "shot down." Russian warplanes have been violating Polish, Estonian and Romanian airspace and this week drones flew over a Danish military airport."
"Mark Rutte, Secretary General of Nato said that the West should shoot down Russian jets if they violate NATO's airspace "if so necessary," adding he agrees with Donald Trump' The Russian ambassador to France, Alexey Meshkov warned this "would be war." He told RTL, "You known, there are many Nato planes that violate Russian airspace, deliberately or not, but it happens quite often. They are not shot down afterward." However, he failed to provide any examples."
"NATO has warned that Russian jets violating countries airspace is part of a "wider pattern of increasingly irresponsible Russian behaviour". Warsaw is now fast tracking legislation to "shoot first, ask later" to respond to Russian threats. The Polish Prime Minister added, "We will take the decision to shoot down flying objects when they violate our territory and fly over Poland - there is absolutely no discussion about that.""
The Kremlin warned that shooting down Russian warplanes will be treated as an "act of war." NATO leaders and the US President asserted that Russian aircraft violating allied sovereign airspace must be shot down if necessary. Russian aircraft and drones have reportedly violated Polish, Estonian and Romanian airspace and flown over a Danish military airport. The Russian ambassador to France warned such measures "would be war." Polish officials describe the situation as the closest to open conflict since World War Two, and Warsaw is fast-tracking "shoot first, ask later" legislation to respond to threats.
