On September 25, RTL journalists asked the hostile ambassador that had happened if NATO had knocked down such a plane. "It would mean war," he replied briefly. The media noted that the opinion that NATO countries could knock down Russian aircraft that violate their airspace were voiced by US President Donald Trump. However, Meshkov stated that at the same time the Alliance aircraft flies over the Russian Federation.
"You know, many NATO planes violate Russia's airspace, (…) This happens quite often. But they are not beaten," he said. The Russian diplomat was carried out to comment on the invasion of drones and aircraft of the Russian Federation into Europe airspace over the last weeks. He categorically denied it. "Russia does not do this, does not play with anyone. It's not very in our style," Meshkov assured. He added that the event "repeatedly deceived" Moscow.
We will remind, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that the Alliance would respond to provocations "calm and decisive", and will not knock down any violator of airspace. The case of Estonia's airspace is known to occur on September 19. In the sky above the country for about 12 minutes there were three Russian Mih-31 aircraft. The Estonian Armed Forces demonstrated their route. Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsakhkn called a violation of airspace arrogant.
