Russian military helicopter violates Polish airspace to probe air defenses, Poland says
Shoot that shit down. Don't let Russia play coy, they don't need another battle front right now
No, wait and when they send more because they feel safe get a multikill
Please god I cannot wait for the polish to shoot down something Russian encroaching on their sovereignty.
The problem with Polish governments, both the far right PiS one as well as the current one, is that they act tough but there is no substance.
When a Russian military plane crossed into Turkish air space, it was shot down, there was a bit of posturing in the media but in the end Putin learned his lesson.
If they know Russia is probing, is it best to ignore it, so as not to tip their hand?
Russia: "They didn't even detect it!?"
No, they fuckin' saw it.
I get what you're saying but Russia isn't that dumb, they know they'd be detected.
It's best to wait a little to not give away your quickest possible response time, then send some aircraft up to politely escort them out.
This will also give your pilots some airtime so they can keep their flying hours topped up.

When dealing with normal governments, yes. When dealing with Russia, no. Russian plane crossing into Turkish airspace from Syria several years ago proved that. It was shot down immediately and there has been not a single infraction since.
Buy some old flak canons and start shooting. If one of them hit, yay. If not, they shat their pants and turned around and you didn't reveal anything about you real response.
Kill the blyats.
Act of War?
