Britain’s Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper warned Russia that NATO’s “combined strength is unparalleled”, that “reckless” aerial provocations should end, and that British jets can “confront” Russian aircraft that in NATO airspace.
The United Nations Security Council sat for what it said was the 10,002nd time on Monday, ahead of a greater gathering for the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, for an extraordinary meeting called by Estonia to discuss “threats to international peace and security”. The meeting was called in response to the incursion by fast jets of the Russian Federation — a permanent member of the Security Council, of course — into Estonian airspace, a NATO member, last week.
The British delegation, led by newly installed Foreign Minister Yvette Cooper was among the most forthright, with a warning on NATO power issued and a threat that in future the British armed forces could get directly involved if Russian jets found their way into alliance airspace.
Cooper denounced Russia for having flown three MiG-31 fighters — a high speed interceptor that can be nuclear armed — in Estonian airspace for 12 minutes last week, stating: “At best, these latest acts are dangerous and reckless. At worst, they are a deliberate attempt to undermine the territorial integrity of sovereign nations and European security.”

They’ve been trying just as hard if not harder than Piano Boy and they aren’t the ones making all the money.
Yeah it’s that Nuland war against Russia again. How dare NATO deny Russian warplanes in their airspace?
Why the next time Russia enters a NATO country’s airspace, Russia should just nuke us for provoking them to do it.
Maybe we should nuke ourselves, I mean we are evil.
Agreed. FAFO. F**k Around and Face Obliteration.
By challenging Russian aircraft that violate another country’s airspace?
Should we not challenge Russian aircraft that violate US airspace? Or would that be poking the bear?
unless the Russian pilots are Muslim, then the Brits will send in their daughters.
Oooh, they talk so tough. They want war.
And they want us to do the dyin’ now. They already used up and left a pile of used up and dead Ukes.
They also know that if POTUS is embroiled in war with Americans fighting and dying for Europe again, his America First agenda will be toast. The globalists win.
Its a twofer for them.
Did anyone think they wouldn’t? Announcing it was stupid and made them look weak.
All two of them?
Ouch! LOL
I see. They really have no problem with a Muslim ground invasion and the raping and pillaging of their citizens though.
‘Confronting’ is a provocative term. ‘Intercepting’ would be a better term and sounds much more defensive. Why would British planes ‘confront’ the invasion of the airspace of another country besides Britain? Do these other countries have their own Air Force? Everybody condemns Russian sabre rattling, but how would this declaration be classified?
Yes, however, the term that best fits the British Government is "Pretending We're Important".
Then NATO should shoot down the next Ruzzian Air Plane that Enters
any NATO country member.
That will teach Potty-Poo a lesson.
I will not be surprised if the russkies manage to get hold of an F-35 before this fiasco is over.
They want to defend their airspace but let the muslims by the millions invade their nation on the ground. It makes no sense..
The best way to distract from internal problems within a country is to start a war.
If they’re Brit planes, chances are they’ll be flying out of NATO bases.
My understanding is that the Brits air force is less than robust, as on a good day they will only send two fighter planes up inside the UK for routine maintenance testing and training.
False Flags-R-Us.
Spits and Hurricanes?
“...and our Hamas allies will fight beside us...”
