L’Europa risponde di recente all’orda russa che invade la Polonia.

Link to source?

“drone horde invading”. Hyperbole much?

Lithuanian part looks quite modest

The problem here is that Russia is a constant bully.

The game they’re playing is “I can start a world war and I will, I’m crazy and you know it”

While the EU is basically the reasonable one who actually DOES NOT WANT A WW3 which would be nuclear and most likely end the world.

So what you have here is a bully threatening hes ready to end the world if he doesnt get his way, and a reasonable person trying to somehow not let this maniac actually do it.

I’d hate to be in the skin of current politicians in the EU ngl. Russia and Putin are so bat sh*t crazy you dont even know how to communicate with them to ensure they dont randomly drop a nuclear bomb on half the Europe somehow

I’d very much like to see the source. This seems completely ridiculous. Why would we be limiting our own air traffic because of Russia’s deliberate provocations? If there’s a no-fly zone it should be over Ukraine or imposed over parts of Russia after what they’ve done.

There has to be a no-fly-zone which makes it impossible for (f.e.) chinese airlines to use the russian airspace, one without gaps or temporary restrictions. That would make Russia loose money and rip these chinese carriers off their economic benefits (2h less flight time/fuel consumption to Shanghai). Money and military power ist in fact the only international language spoken in Russia.

Well, they better shoot down the Russian planes that are coming to test that zone

Who fired a 14t drone from Ukraine in 2022 targeting Croatian student camp? The drone flew through Romania and Hungary before exploding in Croatia. Where was NATO then?

Who is this no fly zone for? Are they surrending their airspace to Russian drones?

So mister Mevdevev, is it war then? You declared this would mean war.

Correct me if I’m wrong but as I understood Russian aircraft lobs missiles from Russian airspace into Ukraine, so the aircraft never actually enters Ukraine airspace.

So enforcing a no fly zone over Kiev and other uncontested parts of Ukraine would imply shooting drones and missiles but never the actual planes. Am I correct here or not? And if so, why wouldn’t Europe implement it?

If no-fly rules worked on Russia, we wouldn’t be having this discussion in the first place

Is this entire thread filled with bots and morons?

The point of the no fly zone is to prevent civilian low altitude flight and drones. This is done temporarily for now, in response to Zapad and the recent Polish drone situation.

You do this, so that little Timmy the radar tech can actually monitor the area, and responses can actually occur quickly and decisively. So you don’t have a situation where drones can enter the airspace undetected and be found by farmers the next day – like we had in Estonia just recently.

Radar and air defense isn’t some passive thing, where you throw a radar and some missile silo up and just wait for it to pop whatever it might detect. This is a coordinated effort to monitor, to prevent and to respond if necessary.

You have forgotten Romania i think

why isn’t it on the other side of the border? their drones should not be our problem.

I hope we’re on our best game, because our reaction time will be tested.

The next step should be to give a single warning that on the next armed drone crossing the border, we’ll move this no fly zone east into Ukraine by X kilometers. And repeat.
