Serious measures are being taken by NATO members
I am not seeing this stuff in U.S. mainstream news.
The MiG - 31 is considered the Boogeyman on the Russian Air Force
Watch this to understand why having these enter your airspace would be a 5 alarm fire.

Hey, I didn't vote for it.

(15,501 posts)Poland closed all rail, road, and pedestrian border crossings with Belarus on September 12, 2025, which has halted a critical rail freight route for goods traveling between China and the European Union. This indefinite closure, which affects an estimated 25 billion in annual trade, was enacted in response to Russian and Belarusian military provocations.
The rail transport is quicker than a sea route to the EU... Time is money. All dictators understand $$$

(113,955 posts)because directly threatening a low population country like Estonia without an appropriate response from NATO will be what breaks the NATO alliance apart, other member states thinking no one will come to their aid, either.
He's probably right about King Wuss in the White House. I don't see France, Poland or the UK letting this happen quite so easily.

(26,826 posts)Is an actual simulation of an encounter between a MiG 31 and a NATO strike force under open war conditions.
It is a game simulator, but an extremely realistic one.
