Amid a surge of Russian airspace violations over NATO territories, Russia has warned that if its planes are shot down, it would lead to full-scale war. This threat comes as Estonia and Poland reported multiple breaches by Russian aircraft and drones.
Estonia described the incursion by three MiG-31 jets as a dangerous provocation. Poland intercepted numerous drones, sparking an Article 4 consultation within NATO, signaling increased readiness to respond cohesively.
