Poland should "posture" back by blowing them out of their sovereign air space.
They can't possibly attack Poland and risk a NATO response. This is posturing.
Posturing or just green idiot pilots since all the trained pilots have died in Ukraine already
Would you train green pilots in a location where they can cause an international incident on their first oopsie of the day?
I'd say you only would if you wanted them to make said oopsies.
The pilots may be idiots, but the people who made them train so close to the border are not.
These are Belarusian choppers not Russian
Given that Belarus is part of the CSTO, and how close Belarus is to Russia politically, this feels like a distinction without a difference.
It’s a puppet state of Russia, there’s no difference
It's a puppet state but Belarus' military isn't in the war.
This chicanery suggests that the Russian defensive egg shell in occupied Ukraine is about to crack.
