NATO allies have boosted air power on their eastern flank following the Russian Federation’s invasion of Ukraine.
NATO air forces flew more than 300 times in 2023 in response to Russian actions. Most of the blockades are over the Baltic Sea. This is what Alliance representative Dylan White said, according to the British television channel Sky News.
“The majority of air interactions between NATO and Russian aircraft are safe and professional. Violations of NATO airspace by Russian military aircraft have remained rare and generally short-lived,” said the officer.
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, NATO allies have boosted air power on their eastern flank. They deployed fighter jets and ground-based air defense systems.
“NATO fighters remain on duty 24 hours a day and are ready to respond to suspicious or unannounced flights near our allies’ airspace,” White added.
As we have already written, Russia’s permanent representative to international organizations in Vienna, Mikhail Ulyanov, said that if a confrontation were to occur between NATO and Russia, then Finland would be “the first to suffer.”
Slovak Prime Minister Fico explained why he “will not allow” Ukraine to join NATO
