At the same time, the British military source stated that “there is no need to have a strategic potential in a tactical position in Estonia.”
According to him, the F-35A “will” act not so much as a means of restraint as as a agitator “, in addition, they are” high risk in the event of the first blow from Russia “.
NATO will consult on its next steps this week after Russia’s violation of Estonian airspace.
The publication suggests that the Alliance will discard the calls for any Russian fighter that will break its borders.
In turn, Makukur stated that NATO’s response should be “proportional” and to be approved separately “in each case”.
He said that the Russian MiG-31 fighter jets “did not fly to our capital” and did not carry weapons, which poses “a sharp threat to our sovereignty and national security.”
In other circumstances, Estonia would have knocked down Russian planes without hesitation, the minister added.
