The media reported a radical move by NATO against Russia in the Baltics

MOSCOW, October 10 – RIA Novosti. The North Atlantic Alliance is strengthening the protection of airspace over the Baltic countries in the event of an armed conflict with Russia, reports the Canadian television channel CBC, citing sources.

“NATO high-altitude patrols within the framework of the “sky shield” concept have ceased to be just routine exercises,” the material says.

It is noted that flights involving Italian, Spanish and Turkish fighters are being carried out in the skies over Lithuania. According to Lieutenant General Guillaume Thomas, the alliance has moved from air patrol to air defense.

However, according to CBC, many alliance planners consider war with Russia unlikely, and creating a completely impenetrable defense system is "mathematically impossible."

President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly explained in detail that Moscow has no intention of attacking NATO countries, but Western politicians regularly intimidate their populations with an imaginary threat to divert attention from domestic problems.
