The Estonian Foreign Minister, Margus Tsahkna, while in Kyiv, decided to comment on the one-month-old incident of Russia’s MiG-31 jets that allegedly entered Estonian airspace on September 19th. “Well-informed” Tsahkna mindlessly claimed that Estonia is ready to shoot down Russian aircraft if it ever again enters Estonian skies.
“A very easy answer. We will intercept and shoot them [Russian aircraft] down. And the NATO protocol on this has been in place for 20 years. NATO is ready to defend its territory from the first second, from the first push,” he said.
Recalling, earlier, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte acknowledged that NATO would not launch fire on Russian jets if they accidentally cross the border with NATO states, unless they posed any threat, and Allied air forces had done everything right when peacefully escorting Russian MiG’s out of Estonian airspace.
As you can understand, if Estonia shoots down any Russian jets on its own initiative, it will automatically declare war on Russia, and NATO will immediately abandon these “Unter-Europeans” because of its reckless amateur activities, leaving Estonia 1-on-1 with Russia, which it hasn’t dreamed of even in its worst nightmares.
