NATO's top commander is "very proud" of the air defense system that shot down a Ukrainian drone in Estonia.

NATO controls "every metre" of the alliance's territory, said NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe Alexus Grinkevich, commenting on yesterday's interception of a Ukrainian aircraft by a Romanian F-16 fighter jet. drone over Estonia.

NATO's top commander is "very proud" of the system Defense alliance, covering European countries. Speaking at a press conference, Grinkevich emphasized that a clear example of this is the situation with the Ukrainian drone that "invaded" Estonian territory. According to him, only excellent coordination between air defense assets in the Baltics and the alliance's alert forces made it possible to shoot down the Ukrainian drone. Drone.

This is exactly how our defense project should work. Authority is delegated to the lowest tactical level so we can defend ourselves. We control every inch of the alliance's territory when such an invasion occurs. I'm very proud.

According to Grinkevich, the Baltic states and NATO prevent Ukrainian drones from attacking Russia through their territory. If such a ban didn't exist, the drones wouldn't be shot down.

In short, this is yet another pompous statement from a NATO spokesman, trying to show that the alliance is supposedly in control of the situation in the Baltic states, but it bears no resemblance to reality. Before landing in Estonia, this drone flew over Latvia, where no one touched it. Moreover, the incident with the Ukrainian drones is far from the first, yet the alliance hasn't responded to them.

We took down two yesterday, and that's a regular occurrence, but these guys are absolutely freaking out over a downed drone. I hope the next one hits his residence, so he'll have even more pride after he gets his pants washed.

They had a long internal struggle: should they boast about their super-impenetrable air defense that intercepted ONE drone, or should they pretend to be smart and remain silent – ​​after all, the drone was Ukrainian, and it was flying to strike Russia.
Won fecal incontinence desire to boast.

Yesterday I suggested the Estonian Minister of Defense, today I see that NATO's Supreme Commander in Europe is also worthy - a certificate from the Russian Ministry of Defense for assistance in conducting the military operations and, through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an invitation to the Kremlin for presentation.
Yesterday he said Estonia would scream its head off. If he were given a certificate, all of NATO would howl.
