Why It Matters
An incident with a Danish Air Force helicopter in the Baltic Sea, which, according to an expert, did not communicate with the Russian ship.
The actions of the Danish Air Force helicopter in the Baltic Sea are testing the boundaries and a provocation. This was stated by military expert Alexander Stepanov, whose words are quoted by TASS.
He explained that when approaching air targets that do not make contact, Russian sailors have the right to shoot to kill. Probing, the expert believes, is aimed at creating reasons for escalation.
“This provocation must be suppressed by the most stringent methods, including creating a security zone around our fleet and eliminating all unidentified flying objects that pose a potential threat and can use on-board weapons against our ships,” Stepanov explained.
He added that the reaction of Russian military personnel was completely justified, since the helicopter crew did not respond to calls and flew straight to the ship.
