Kremlin Warns NATO: Downing Russian Planes 'Means War'

NATO leaders, like Trump and Rutte, stated they would shoot down Russian planes entering their airspace if they pose a threat.

The Kremlin responded, calling the move reckless and irresponsible.

Russia said it would react as a sovereign nation if its aircraft are shot down.

One Russian ambassador warned that this would be considered an act of war.

NATO says it will first try to escort the planes out, but will shoot them down if necessary to protect their people.
