NATO scrambled its war planes today in self defence amid Vladimir Putin’s heaviest strikes on Ukraine in months, leading to multiple civilian deaths including three children. Russia was also hit hard with Ukrainian strikes, leading to the Kremlin’s air defences firing in panic - but missing - an Airbus A320-251N packed with its own tourists from Turkish resort Bodrum, according to reports.
At least 10 Russian government aircraft used for high-ranking state and military officials fled Moscow flying east. It was not immediately clear if the exodus was a drill for an emergency evacuation or the real thing amid an onslaught from Ukrainian drones, which led to the temporary closures of major Moscow airports.
Among the planes that left Moscow eastward in the direction of the Urals were four Tu-154s, one Il-62M, a pair of Tu-134s, a Tu-214, and transport aircraft Il-76MD and An-148. It coincided with the first time in many months that Russia deployed the entire spectrum of its nuclear-capable strategic bombers against Ukraine, firing conventional missiles from Tu-22M3, Tu-95MS and Tu-160 aircraft - in addition to the use of kamikaze drones.
Amid savage attacks from Putin’s armed forces on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, Polish military high command announced it had “activated all available forces and resources” on NATO’s eastern flank.

Why was NATO scrambling war planes? NATO is supposedly not at war. Maybe Putin was trying to get Starmer up out the bed with his Uke model gay boys.
UK Express is Tabloid bullchit.
Ukraine isn’t even NATO.
If this war continues much longer, Ukraine will not have to worry about civilian deaths. There won’t be any civilians left in Ukraine.
NATO scrambled planes and the AWACS last night because of Russia’s attempt to shoot down the Turkish civilian airliner filled with tourists.
“ NATO scrambled its war planes today in self defence…”
****************************************
Wow… how did the attacks on and invasion into NATO progress? This is HORRIFYING…. RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!
Ukraine isn’t a NATO member.
Turkey is in NATO.
Griping about the rules is a sure sign you are losing badly.
The missiles could be made smart enough not to shoot down the comparatively large Airbuses since the Ukrainians aren’t using them as drones.
Boot-strapping.
“ Turkey is in NATO.”
**********************
Sadly, true. Have NATO’s defensive lines been breached? How deep have the invaders penetrated.
“If this war continues much longer, Ukraine will not have to worry about civilian deaths. There won’t be any civilians left in Ukraine.”
For Ukraine, their civilian deaths are considered a WEAPON OF WAR, thanks to the Western Media providing cover for them to use human shields.
No different than what the Palestinians have done for DECADES now, which is to locate their military units in civilian areas. Again, as long as the Western Media is willing to cover-up these war crimes, civilians become a WEAPON OF WAR.
Tell that to the Pegasus Airlines passengers last night.
And World War III is not a good idea.
I see that Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu have a common enemy namely the European Union.
The EU pushing for the Palestinians and the Ukrainians at this point.
Putin and Netanyahu have ICC arrest warrants on them for war crimes.
Want to draw Turkey in to fight Russia Turkey hates Israel and wants concessions on the Palestinians.
I’m still a Zionist by choice Putin is a Zionist because he and Bibi have a common enemy working against both Russia and Israel.
Russia tried to shoot down a Turkish civilian airliner last night.
They aren’t the only ones reporting on it.

Umm, so why are NATO jets IN Ukraine defending themselves? Since your media masters have no editors, perhaps you should you think through what you are posting beforehand.
Is Poland still successfully holding NATO’s eastern flank?
Time to go read what’s actually happening on the ground rather than propaganda from Ukraine’s Tokyo Rose.
