>Russia slightly enters Lithuanian airspace for a few seconds
>Lithuania in full panic mode

would have been cool if they took the turkish approach

>>216129437
Lithuania lacks an airforce, they had to wait for Spain to launch fighter jets it had deployed in the Baltic countries

>>216129475
Don't they have localised commanders in NATO integration

>>216129437
Turkey got assfucked by their NATO "allies" for shooting down the Russian jet.

>>216129437
The whole thing is russian bait so they can try and sell a general mobilisation to their people

>>216129382 (OP)
I know NATO has a balt air policing program but why don't balts just combine their smol air forces into a bigger one so they can collectively have their own fighters etc?

Damn, Russian pilots drunk again? These mistakes happen kinda often.

>>216129794
A Lithuanian commander still has to get the ok from the Spanish military to launch a Spanish jet.

they should be more tolerant ;_;

>>216129905
Kinda defeats the purpose of the whole Integration thing then

>>216129894
yes, why not do an integration of all the military branches while we're at it? pool resources and establish common training standards, let countries cover gaps im each other's capabilities. and sign a mutual defense pact. then maybe we can also invite other countries...

Proof that nukes is the ultimate hedge.

If Russia didn't have nukes, Yurop would have marched straight to Moscow and burned everything in their path.

Even if they only have 50-200 working nukes instead of the 5000+ they claim it's still spooky enough for any country to not touch them.

Why am I supposed to dislike Lithuania exactly?

>>216129905
No, when a country deploys its forces to a NATO mission they fall under their NATO commander's operational command.

>>216129905
Incorrect.

>>216130392
>>216130324
I see, but the NATO operational commander often times won't be from the nation hosting the deployment, so Lithuania would have still had to request them to launch the planes

>>216129382 (OP)
I just want a ruzzian jet being downed so I can enjoy all the zigger melties while nothing happens

>>216129382 (OP)
Happens here every day

>>216130216
because Russia dislikes them. as a good American patriot you must like what Russia likes and dislike what Russia dislikes.

>>216129382 (OP)
Why don't Russian neighbors just make nukes?

>>216130839
The hate seems forced I never saw any before 2022

>>216130915
america would bomb us

america offers security guarantees in exchange for countries not getting nukes or giving them up. see Ukraine - they gave up nukes in 1991 and both america and russia guaranteed their security. they clearly got a great deal there.

VPN off HIVan + Nato needs to shoot them down already

>>216131083
>they gave up nukes in 1991
Well, it would be better for everyone if they hadn't given up nukes and stayed in the same country with Russia.

>>216131170
this but unironically

>>216131186
Except for them, perhaps
