    I completely agree with you. But at the same time, Russia knows very well that most of its provocations will remain unanswered, because we are not ready to escalate, as long as they remain under a certain threshold. And what they are doing now is slowly nudging that bar higher and higher.

        Yes, but what are the consequences for Russia from that? Shooting down something that is single-use anyway won’t impress the attacker. But when for example Turkey shot down the fighter jet that entered their airspace, the message was crystal clear. You won’t find many fighters from Russia entering their airspace anymore.

          True, didn’t think about the point that the drones were single use.
          Still I think they should just shoot every tinny bit of Russian war Maschine, entering a NATO country.
