Defense ministers of member states have been privately lobbying for broader engagement guidelines, the outlet has reported<\/strong><\/p>\n

NATO defense chiefs have been privately lobbying to expand the US-led military bloc’s engagement guidelines to allow it to shoot down Russian jets carrying ground-attack missiles, The Telegraph wrote on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

According to the outlet, the NATO supreme allied commander Europe, US General Alexus Grynkewich, has privately called for the creation of a “unified, single air and missile defense system”<\/em> to plug gaps in the ability to engage Russian jets.<\/p>\n

A number of NATO members currently have different rules of engagement for shooting down aircraft over their territory.<\/p>\n

The news follows an incident last month in which Estonia called for NATO-wide consultations after alleging that Russian fighter jets briefly violated its airspace. Moscow said the planes were on a routine flight to Kaliningrad over neutral waters.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the event, Secretary General Mark Rutte said members states already “have all the authorities needed”<\/em> to neutralize any jets that threaten them.<\/p>\n

“We are not going to take down an airplane in NATO airspace if it does not pose a threat,”<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Moscow has branded recent threats by NATO countries to shoot down its planes as “reckless and irresponsible,”<\/em> as well as “dangerous in their consequences.”<\/em><\/p>\n

“Allegations against Russia that its warplanes have violated someone’s airspace are groundless,”<\/em> Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
