According to The Telegraph, several NATO member states are privately lobbying for new rules that would make it easier to shoot down Russian fighter jets that enter allied airspace, following multiple recent incursions. Discussions led by NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich, center on developing a “unified, single air and missile defense system” to close strategic gaps and ensure a coordinated response to Russian provocations. The move follows Estonia’s request for NATO-wide consultations after three Russian MiG-31s allegedly violated its airspace — a claim Moscow denies.
