NATO Shot Down a Drone Over Lithuania. NATO Is Ready to Do This Again.

A drone violated lithuanian airspace. Nato fired on the drone. The drone is now a collection of parts. The origin of the drone remains unknown. Investigation is ongoing. Readiness is confirmed.

Airspace is a line. The line is drawn on maps. Objects cross the line. Objects are shot at. Whether the object belonged to anyone, whether anyone sent it, whether anyone claims it—these questions are secondary to the fact that it crossed the line.

Nato is ready to do this again. This readiness is not aggressive. It is maintenance. In Lithuania, in the airspace, things will continue to cross lines. More things will be shot. The readiness will hold.
