Moscow denies its fighter jets crossed the NATO state’s border.
The Russian Defense Ministry has denied that its warplanes entered Estonia’s airspace on Friday.
The Baltic EU and NATO state had claimed that three aircraft violated its airspace for 12 minutes in what it called an “unprecedented brazen” incursion.
In a brief statement on Saturday, the Defense Ministry said three MiG-31s were conducting a routine flight from Karelia Region, east of Finland, to an airfield in Kaliningrad Region, a Russian exclave bordering Poland and Lithuania.
The jets flew over the neutral waters of the Baltic Sea, more than 3 kilometers from Estonia’s Vaindloo island, “without violating Estonian airspace,” the MOD said.
“The flight was carried out in strict accordance with international airspace regulations and without crossing the borders of other countries,” the ministry added.
Estonia has requested urgent consultations with its fellow NATO members, activating Article 4 of the alliance’s treaty. “NATO’s response to any provocation must be united and strong. We consider it essential to consult with our allies to ensure shared situational awareness and to agree on our next joint steps,” Prime Minister Kristen Michal said.
On September 9, Poland accused Russia of sending at least 19 drones into its airspace, a claim Moscow has denied. NATO responded by deploying additional aircraft to patrol Polish skies.
The EU seems desperate to invoke Article 5 in order to drag the US back into the war.
These shitty little globalist vassal nations, are hell bent on sparking WWIII, on behalf of their delusional masters….
…who corrupted them one way or another to serve as money laundromats and quagmire ‘investment’ pits.
Article 5 is not a blank cheque for retaliation or aggression—it’s a covenantal clause, not a license for arbitrary military action.
It requires an “armed attack” against one or more NATO members in Europe or North America.
It triggers collective defense, but each member chooses what action it “deems necessary”—which could be military, diplomatic, logistical, or symbolic.
It’s rooted in the UN Charter, specifically Article 51, which affirms the right to self-defense.
So what in effect You would have is a “Coalition of the willing” situation.
Which stems from the fact that Europe does what it does best.
And what they have been doing for thousands of years.
Fighting among themselves and not being able to agree on anything.
Poland invoked Article 4 last week. Estonia invoking Article 4 now… NATO members are desperate to blame Russia for their own pathetic excuses to not attend peace talks.
They’re just invoking a committee meeting.
They should be carefull what they wish for. They could indeed get war and be crushed like the little cockroaches they are

It is a certainty that the West will get World War III so Russia should make the first strike especially on France and more directly on London.
Guess your mom doesn’t live in London?
