Summit in Shanghai there Xi gave ok to probe and harass NATO, immediately 20 intelligence drones 100+ miles deep into Poland, 3 fighter jets 10 minutes into Estonia airspace. (Those actions already triggered kneejerk in NATO to give first priority to beefing up NATO countries' air defenses instead of supplying air-defense systems to Ukraine). Add to that cyberattack on the airports 3 days ago and now massive drones i…

Turkey taught Putin what should happen to his military airplanes that violate their airspace. Putin got the message very quickly. Europe should do the same instead of pretending Putin will understand any weaker response. TL;DR: shoot them down on sight.

Why are TL;DR's always at the end of a piece?

If I was 14, a rascal up to no good, had a drone and lived close to an airport I know what I'd be doing for the lulz.

You would hopefully also know that this has serious consequences. Burning your home might be cheaper.

What kinds of consequences? Grounding? Have my drone taken away?

> Burning your home might be cheaper.

Makes no sense. Kids get off easy. And can be less concerned with consequences.

Beyond the fine, the airlines will try to get their losses in millions back from someone. If it turns out to have been a private person, there will be lawsuits. In general parents are liable for their children. When a child is old enough to fly a drone on its own, I think it will also be of partial-legal age. Acceptance of manslaughter and threat to national security is not taken lightly.

Denmark doesn't work that way.

Denmark is talking about blocking the Baltic to commercial ship traffic that does not have Western insurance. (Read: Russian ghost fleet.) The Law of the Sea permits this when there is a clear environmental threat. (Oil spillages etc.)

In parallel, some (Russian-controlled?) ships have been refusing Danish pilots for navigating the straits.

So... maybe Vlad is playing Goodfellas. Like many other dirtbags.

Airport group are suffering a huge financial loss just with these tiny remotecontrolaircrafts. The government should restrict any commoners to own any of these 'military-grade' aircraft.
