NATO jets intercepted two Russian SU-30 warplanes carrying supersonic missiles over the Baltic Sea as Vladimir Putin continues to taunt the West with aggressive shows of Moscow’s military strength.
In the days leading up to the start of WWII, Hitler conducted deliberate provocations to see what sort of appetite his national neighbors had for military conflict. He started with small bites, and with each success, gradually increased the size of his operations until all-out war began in 1939. Vladimir Putin is now doing the exact same thing, launching provocations to see how fast nations react and with what level of intensity. Putin, at this point, is far ahead of any of his perceived rivals from a military stragedy standpoint, and he knows it. That’s the memo.
“The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.” Exodus 15:3 (KJB)
Just to let you know what you’re looking at, Putin has starting suiting up in military apparel when being photographed in public, telegraphing to anyone paying attention that war is coming. Hitler did the same thing, you couldn’t miss it if you tried, and yet they all did because they didn’t believe he’d actually do it. Is NATO up for the challenge? You’re watching history repeat itself.
Moment NATO jets intercept Russian SU-30 warplanes carrying supersonic missiles over the Baltic as Putin taunts the West in latest WW3 show of strength
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Swedish Airforce announced that its JAS 39 Gripen fighters intercepted two Russian combat aircraft believed to be armed with KH-31 missiles, a supersonic anti-radiation weapon designed to destroy ships and air defences units. An Il-20 signals intelligence aircraft was also identified in the mission and swiftly escorted away.
‘The Swedish Air Force is always on alert,’ the nation’s Armed Forces account tweeted in the wake of the successful interception, which was carried out with the assistance of Denmark.
It comes amid urgent efforts by NATO to bolster the eastern frontier with greater defences, after Russia’s unprecedented intrusion into Polish airspace on September 9 when up to 23 drones entered the territory. Romania then accused Moscow of breaching its airspace on September 13, as Latvia reported a drone crashing in its east.
And on Monday, Poland said a civilian drone flew over its presidential palace and government buildings, describing the incident as another ‘provocation’.
Meanwhile, Putin has put NATO further on edge by conducting war games with Belarus as part of the Zapad 2025 drills, which have historically been used to test different military strategies ahead of invasions. The Swedish Airforce began conducting operations in international airspace over the southern Baltic Sea after suspicious reports of aircraft travelling without flight plans and with their transponders turned off.
Swedish fighter aircraft then identified and escorted away a Su-30SM and a Su-30SM2 from Russia’s Baltic Fleet. Both were fitted with Kh-31 air-to-surface missiles, weapons capable of traveling at speeds up to Mach 3 as they penetrate modern ship defences and destroy enemy vessels.
‘NATO has suddenly woken up – or finally woken up,’ said Hamish de Bretton-Gordon OBE, a former British Army colonel.
‘We played lip service to the peace dividend… really giving the impression to Putin that we weren’t that bothered and we didn’t care. So in a way, it is slightly our own fault. We’ve got a show resolve now, otherwise he will keep going.’
European allies have rushed to organise an ‘Eastern Sentry’ mission to bolster security on the eastern flank, including the deployment of two F-16 fighter jets and a frigate from Denmark, three Rafale fighter jets from France and four Eurofighter jets from Germany. READ MORE
