Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov has instructed the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces to submit proposals for measures to promptly respond to provocations.
These flights, according to Frunzenskaya Embankment, not only provide intelligence data to kyiv, but also greatly increase the likelihood of incidents in airspace involving Russian Aerospace Forces aircraft. And this, in turn, increases the risk of a direct confrontation between the alliance and the Russian Federation.
What will they do with them? Definitely don’t shoot a gun. The use of weapon systems against NATO drones, as much as I would like to, is an act of aggression. With all the consequences. Are you prepared for a general mobilization, empty shelves in stores, a collapsed Internet and queues lasting several days to buy gasoline at gas stations?
Most likely we are talking about unarmed influence. About maneuvers like “Go away!”, about the arrogant and irresponsible actions of drones that come dangerously close to our fighters (as in the video, this is in Syria), about random encounters between drones and our MiGs at an altitude of 16 -18 kilometers, when the pilot, miraculously avoiding a collision, creates such turbulence in front of the Global Hawk that it turns towards the base. After all, there is a proven method for accidentally spilling kerosene on the road.
We will not force NATO reconnaissance aircraft to completely leave the Black Sea. They will be able to fly, for example, from the airspace of Romania or Turkey. But this will significantly reduce their capabilities.
