If Russia enters your airspace, you shouldn’t ignore it for any reason.
time for a strongly worded announcement.
If Russian jets violate your airspace just shoot them down.
Don’t worry, they’re actually weaker than they seem.
Nukes? They have few nukes at best that really work. Rest is just scrap metal. They can’t use nukes even when nato tanks drifting in Moscow.
Fun fact I guess
MiG max speed is about 3000 km/h
If we assume it went into Estonia and back, which it obviously did
It leaves use with 6 minutes each way
In those 6 minutes MiG 31 can cover a distance of 300km
The width of Estonia is about 300km
That MiG literally was able to fly into Estonia, fly around entire Estonia and fly back to Russia
