The Foreign Secretary says we will ‘confront’ Russian planes after repeated invasions of Nato airspace. Donald Trump says they should be shot down.
Sitrep talks to former RAF pilot Air Marshal Greg Bagwell about how intercepts are carried out, the options for pilots, and the risks involved.
Kate and Mike also talk to Keir Giles, who advises governments on Moscow’s military mindset, about what it hoped to achieve with drones over Poland, and fighter jets in Estonian airspace.
And after President Trump’s big U-turn any hope of Ukraine peace talks appears to be over, so Mike explains what both sides are planning for the next phase of the war.
Kate Gerbeau presents, with expert analysis from Professor Michael Clarke.
