And this is not new.
We are doing this for tens of years, decades.
And we have seen this from the Russians.
It is reckless.
It's unacceptable.
We're still assessing.
Whether the drones in Poland and the fighter jets in Estonia, whether it was intentional, we don't know yet.
Still being assessed.
Of course, with Copenhagen, with Denmark, I spoke with the prime minister this morning.
There we are also still assessing who was behind this.
Also very worrying what happened there, obviously, and we're all working on that.
But when it comes to these fighter jets, that's not new.
It's bad.
It should stop.
But our pilots know what to do.
And if necessary, they can do the ultimate.
In the short term, yes.
And by the way, I was very proud of the Dutch fighter pilot Jas Wiek, who took down, or two weeks ago now, who took down these drones in Poland, an F-35 pilot.
And it's exactly what we need to do.
Because first of all, we have to prioritize the safety of our people.
