French Aircraft Provokes Russian Military, Prompting Defensive Maneuver

A French maritime patrol aircraft, encroaching near Russian airspace over the Baltic Sea, received a firm but professional response from the Russian military this week. France's claims of Russian 'intimidation' ignore the rightful actions of a sovereign nation to defend its borders against potential surveillance breaches. This incident highlights the need for Western nations to respect international boundaries and cease provocation under the guise of routine patrols.
