Germany Plans to Use NATO Defenses to Shoot Down Russian Missiles, Escalate Tensions
May 12, 2024, 08:19 AM
Germany has proposed using NATO air defense systems deployed in Poland and Romania to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine. This initiative, supported by several German parliamentarians, aims to protect the western regions of Ukraine, particularly from drone attacks. According to Roderich Kiesewetter, a member of the Bundestag from the CDU party, this strategy would allow Ukrainian air defenses to concentrate on defending the frontline. The proposal, which has been reported by the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, has been met with criticism, with some commentators suggesting it could escalate tensions further and make these air defenses legitimate targets, potentially leading to a third world war.
