If anyone is still oblivious, the latest cases involving Russian UAVs penetrating into NATO"s airspace are no accident, but a deliberate testing of the allies" air defense systems, under the guise of an ongoing war in Ukraine.

On March 11, a Tu-141 UAV crossed into NATO airspace before eventually crashing in Croatia. Also, on March 13, an Orlan-10 reconnaissance drone flew into Romania, landing 100 km deep into the country.

That is, hiding behind the war in Ukraine, during which such "unintentional" and unfortunate incidents happen, Russia is testing NATO air defense reaction. Moreover, quite appropriately, aircraft of various sizes are used, from the large Tu-141, comparable to a light fighter, to the small Orlan-10.

 

If I were NATO, I would tense up. Moreover, speaking of the response to such penetrations, the allies pretty much failed the test.

I should repeat, today Ukraine is fighting not only for its own freedom, but, one way or another, for the that of all Europe in general. See, if the Ukrainians don"t succeed in protecting their own homes, tomorrow Russia will knock on NATO"s.

Europe, however, is lucky, at least because the Ukrainians will, in fact, succeed.
