Robert Dannenberg, former head of the CIA's Counterterrorism Center and head of the Center for Cyber and Information Operations, stated on Espreso TV."I think Putin is once again receiving bad intelligence from his foreign and domestic intelligence services about the willingness of the West to respond to the provocations Russia is carrying out and planning right now. There is no question that if Russia continues to send drones and aircraft over NATO territory, at some point those drones and aircraft will be shot down. That will mark a serious escalation," Dannenberg explained.In his opinion, Putin's entourage, which is pushing him to start a war against NATO countries, is receiving the same kind of intelligence as they did about Ukraine, when it was believed that Kyiv would not be able to hold back the Russian army."But if you are the president of Poland or the prime minister of Estonia or another Baltic state, you cannot ignore aggressive overflights by a country like Russia. You have to defend your territory. This is clearly intentional on Russia’s part. I think Putin is getting poor advice, and I do not believe the Russian military is in any way prepared for a broader conflict with NATO. Whoever is advising Putin to continue these overflights is the same kind of person who gave him bad advice about the cost of the war and the likelihood of success in the invasion of Ukraine," he added.On the night of September 10, in response to the threat from Russian drones that invaded Polish airspace during a night attack on Ukraine, the operational command of the Armed Forces brought aviation and air defense to full readiness.On September 13, a Russian drone violated Romanian airspace, and a potential threat of enemy UAVs was recorded over Poland. In response, both NATO countries scrambled fighter jets and activated air defense systems.On September 19, three Russian MiG-31s violated Estonian airspace, after which the country's government initiated consultations with NATO in accordance with Article 4.On October 3, Ryanair CEO Michael O'Leary criticized the EU's actions to protect European airports and called for shooting down drones that violate air traffic.
