This reported attack by UK jets on Russian drones over Ukraine appears to be such a spectacularly stupid thing to do that the UK Ministry of Defence is denying that it took place:
The Ministry of Defence has denied the Romanian military’s claim that RAF jets on a NATO patrol shot down Russian drones over Ukrainian territory for the first time.
Two Royal Air Force Eurofighters were scrambled from Borcea Air Base in the early hours of Saturday 25 April, as Putin’s forces attacked ports on the River Danube in Ukraine.
It is understood both aircraft returned to base and did not engage any Russian assets, nor did they enter Ukrainian airspace.
It comes after the Romanian Ministry of National Defence claimed crew engaged and downed the Russian drones.
The strike over Ukraine aimed at protecting NATO state Romania represents a new development in the four-year war, it claimed.
‘On the morning of Saturday, April 25, Russian forces resumed drone attacks on civilian and infrastructure targets in Ukraine, near the river border with Romania, in Tulcea County,‘ said the Bucharest statement.
‘MApN radars detected drones flying near Romanian airspace. Two Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft of the British Air Force from the Reinforced Air Police combat service took off at 02:00 from the 86th Air Base in Fetești. The National Military Command Centre notified IGSU [General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations] regarding the establishment of measures to alert the population in the localities of Grindu and Isaccea, in Tulcea County, and at 02:14, a RO-ALERT message was transmitted. The Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft had radar contact with a target located 1.5 km [1 mile] from Reni, above Ukrainian territory. The pilots had authorisation to engage the drones.’
If the Russians ever decide to start bombing the UK, the morons in the Labor and Conservative parties will only have themselves to blame. They helped start the war, and they’re unnecessarily involving British military forces in it. A Russo-British conflict in 2026 would make the charge of the Light Brigade look brilliant.
