Russian invasion of Ukraine

I have to say too many Russian drones are getting through at the moment.
From aound 5% it gas climbed to about 35% at the moment.
I suspect Ukrainian ECW is not working.
Mind you it's worse for the Russians with well over half getting through.

Copenhagen airport closed due to 2-3 large drones in the airspace.

No official suggestion it’s Russian but worth posting

A UK air tanker is currently over East Poland doing circuits at 26,000 FT, presumably refuelling NATO (or UK) fast jets.

No other obvious military aircraft showing it's position, so I wonder if the Ukraine F16's patrols get refuelled over Poland ? I doubt anyone would admit to it even if they did, but I wouldn't be in the least bit surprised.

Ukraine Invasion Day 1,309: high-ranking RU officials targeted in strike on Crimea

Forbes: Since last year's election, the Trump family has nearly doubled its wealth to $10B, profiting from the presidency. This is pure corruption. Russian forces conducted a series of drone strikes against Ukraine on the night of September 21 to 22....

Massive increase in Russian drone interceptions overnight by Ukraine.
132 of 141 taken out.
 
Some Nato planes doing the rounds over the Baltics. UK circling Kaliningrad, Spain and Belgium planes as well as an unknown Saab plane checking the borders.

As I mentioned last night an RAF tanker was doing circuits late last night over Poland, presumably refuelling fast jets not showing.

There seems to have been a large volume of various military surveillance aircraft this morning, right along the russia/NATO boundary.

Over the weekend, there were numerous troop carrying flights from Yorkshire into Sweden (mainland and big Island in the Baltic).

Also there were airport closures at Oslo and Copenhagen last night, due to drone activity (they are a danger to commercial aircraft if they fly near runways etc).

There is a military excerise ongoing in Belarus.

Fairly blatant Russia are testing for holes in the Nato defence. If a known theif is openly testing your home security, you dont wait around for them to try and rob you.

Need to bolster the eastern line and there has to be a strong response from Nato. Let them know that next time any Russian aircraft enters nato airspace without permission, it wont be returning.

The best way to bolster the eastern line is to reduce Russias armed capabilities to zero.
Let's stop 'sort of' helping Ukraine and let's start by really hitting Russia.
Ukrainians are dying whilst we um and argh about a plane flying in our airspace.

NATO could be shooting down the masses of drones that are pounding Ukraine night after night. If British jets can do that for Israel against Iran surely it can be done for Ukraine. If the Russians have a problem with it, play dumb like they do and have to stock answer that they thought they were a threat to NATO airspace.

Doing nothing, talking and condemning emboldens Putin to see how the else he can test any weakness within European airspace.
