RAF urgently deploys fighter jets to patrol NATO border amid growing Russian threat

From Bill Koenig website*

RAF fighter jets have urgently been being deployed to help patrol Polish airspace on Nato's eastern flank amid growing tensions with Russia over its war in Ukraine and in a bid to counter increasing Kremlin air patrols towards Europe. It comes as Ukraine war threatens to spread further into neighbouring countries.

The six UK-built Typhoons are already in Poland having flown from RAF Lossiemouth and will be deployed alongside Sweden’s Gripen fighters, on standby duty to scramble against Russia's warplanes if they come to close. It comes as President Vladimir Putin tries to slow down the ceasefire negotiations process and play for time.

Ministry of Defence officials confirmed they will take part in a “NATO enhanced air policing mission.” It comes as the Kremlin is frequently deploying warplanes towards European countries such as the UK to test NATO response times. The MoD said defence minister Lord Coaker met with Polish defence minister Wladyslaw Marcin Kosiniak-Kamysz and Swedish defence minister Pal Jonson on Tuesday to "outline the UK's commitment to European security and to mark the start of the operation.”

Lord Coaker said: "The UK is unshakeable in its commitment to Nato. With threats increasing and growing Russian aggression, it is vital that we stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies. "This latest air policing mission in Poland displays the UK's ability to operate effectively with Nato's newest member in Sweden and deter our common adversaries across the alliance's airspace, keeping us secure at home and strong abroad."

 
I think the growing split between Europe and USA within NATO is giving Putin a feeling that he can push those limits, and push back at NATO a bit while USA and possibly Britain is focused with Israel on the threat from Iran.

I was thinking a lot about the 4 US soldiers that went missing, found dead inside NATO territory in Lithuania, just over the border beside Belarus which is a Russian area. That was suspicious, and accidents do happen, but it also might have been a pointed message from Russia about getting too close.

It looks to me like Europe waking up to her final destiny as Rome 2.0 but even if it isn't, it's high time that Europe took care of her own defence. It may take a squabble with the USA and the threat of Russia to do it, but it's happening.

I wonder if USSR/Gog Soldiers were on the wrong side of the border and killed the US Soldiers to keep from having that info relayed up to TPTB. Soldiers and intel guys have always been pawns in diplomatic games, and their deaths in various incidents nearly always considered "collateral damage" in order avoid all-out war. In the case of the Cold War and moving forward, necessary to avoid nuclear war.

Of course, our Soldiers could have been on the wrong side of the border, either accidentally or on purpose, and USSR/Gog killed and dumped them on the right side of the border to avoid 'shrooms, as well.
