Turkey (a NATO member) “liquidated” a couple of Russian fighter jets when they violated Turkey’s airspace during their Syrian assault.[0]

So it’s not a stretch to think that once a Russian tank would cross into Poland it would be met with immediate lethal force.

Thanks for this, this is a good data point for NATO action. It's a little different in that it seems more accidental than intentional though.


Wasn't a NATO action. Was a split second decision by Erdoga so he can play his power games.


> “liquidated” a couple of Russian fighter jets

It was one jet, and it wasn't fighter jet, but assault jet, it didn't carry any AA missiles and couldn't defend himself.


Was it a frogfoot?

Didn't matter, it violated airspace.
