I believe that the time will come, if these violations continue, when we will have to take tougher measures, including the potential downing of a Russian aircraft or drones. Russia will not allow repeated violations of its airspace. And we must do the same
– said Pavel.
He noted that airspace violations are deliberate, well-planned, and focused on several goals.
One of them is to show that Russia can do it. Another is to test our air defense system. But it also tests our determination to act in self-defense
– added Pavel.
