NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte on Russian incursions into EU airspace:

If a plane would pose a threat, we have the authorities to do, if necessary, the ultimate. But if the plane is not posing a threat, we are not going to shoot it down. And then we will gently guide it outside the airspace.

We are so much stronger than the Russians. We don't have to take down Russian airplanes because they enter our airspace.
We do it if they enter our airspace and also pose a threat. If we were weak, you might maybe think, OK, we are weak, so we have to immediately show them that whenever they enter our airspace, we shoot them down. But if they don't pose a threat, being so much stronger than the Russians, I think it is much stronger that our reaction is as it is, proportionate.
And, of course, making clear to the Russians that we are not too happy about these incursions.
