NATO allies are discussing easing rules for pilots to permit them to shoot down Russian aircraft, according to a report by the Financial Times. The news comes as alliance members consider a tougher approach against Moscow following a spate of alleged airspace violations, drone swarms, and sabotage plots in Europe.
A NATO official told Newsweek: “When it comes to the range of hybrid or grey-zone activities we’ve seen, including cyber-attacks, drone incursions, or attempts to sabotage critical infrastructure, NATO is working closely with Allies to ensure that we’re taking appropriate steps to ensure we can deter and defend. This isn’t new, and we continue to adapt as the situation evolves.”
Nothing to discuss. This should be decided already

I’m surprised they’re not asking permission from the target pilots at this point. “you’re not allowed to fly over us with missiles, can we shoot you down pwetty pwease?”

My guess is they’re too afraid. 🤨
They likely will not do it.

Turkey took about 13 seconds before giving their pilots the okay to do it. Turkey’s pilots shot them down.
Russia stopped testing Turkey.
LESSON HERE.
