Russia probes NATO air defense all the time. They even had a jet shot down by Turkey in 2015 and nothing of consequence happened
And we probe their defense too. This is standard behavior. Reporting is as if it's unusual is just stirring up anti-russian sentiment.
This could be a matter of there being a language barrier, but I haven’t seen stories of Russia complaining about probes from NATO.
Google search of Russia complaints of NATO actions near border.
I'm not going to link them individually. There are instances of Russia complaining about NATO action near its border.
I meant with aircraft. Not exactly the same thing comparing a ground action inside a state’s territory with a jet that can travel faster than the speed of sound, imo. I might add that Russian probing often leads to them entering into NATO airspace in a way that NATO drills have not, to my knowledge.
I think Russia stopped probing Turkey, no?
