Aeroflot has been trespassing on airspace that they are now banned from.

[Swede]

It's happened over and over. It's like they are daring the west to shoot one of their passenger jets down. What a fucked up country.

[Irish_Dem]

1. Escort them down and confiscate their airplanes.

[lagomorph777]

7. Yep. And the crew.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Yes I hope that violating air space is a crime.

[lagomorph777]

11. This is a wartime ban; they would be POW.

Criminal sanctions might also apply but that's not the immediate thing.

[Irish_Dem]

16. Putin/Trump/GOP think they are above the law.

We shall see if this is true or not.

[sarisataka]

12. What do you then do

When they refuse to comply and won't land?

[Irish_Dem]

14. Then you start letting Putin know he is not king of the world.

[sarisataka]

17. What options do you have to let him know he's not king?

Double restrict the airspace or shoot the plane down?

[Irish_Dem]

19. You leave the airspace issue alone. Do nothing about it.

Go back to Biden's plan of bringing down Putin.
And double down on Biden's strategies.

[sarisataka]

20. In other words the answer to my question

When they refuse to comply and won't land?

Is nothing and look like a fool when Areoflot flips your fighter the bird.

[roamer65]

18. Exactly.

They have to land.

Especially when you have jet fighters on your wings.

[mitch96]

21. How would you escort them down if they don't want to??

Do a fuel dump into their engines? All of which russia would see as an act of war.
I'm at a loss on what to do.. A rat in a corner is an unpredictable animal...like putin.

23. Wise leaders choose their battles carefully. I'd go back to Biden's plan.

Biden's plan to bring Putin down.

2. They're not going to be operating in another month. If we get AA to shut off SABRE they're done

... and broke and rusting heaps.

Putin has declared war on his on people

[The Revolution]

3. I would think impounding the plane upon landing

Would be the logical thing. Don't really need to shoot them down. But yeah it is a little strange. I would not want to fly on or pilot a plane into airspace where it wasn't welcome.

[Swede]

4. They aren't landing though.

They fly into banned air space and roam around then leave.

[Chainfire]

5. Looking for an excuse to justify and expand the war.

Putin is a madman on a path to total war. Sooner or later, he will find an "incident" to use as justification, if he has to fire on his own damn planes...

[multigraincracker]

6. TFG has a jet for sale, only needs

a complete restore. I hear it's for sale cheap.

[Crunchy Frog]

9. Force them to land, then arrest the crew and confiscate the plane.

[mitch96]

22. " Force them to land"...... how?......nt

[Irish_Dem]

10. Putin wants to show he is king of the world. And can do whatever he wants.

He is above the law.

[llashram]

13. like his American cousin

so far

[Irish_Dem]

15. Putin has certainly coached Trump quite well.
