LUTEPAA, ESTONIA - OCTOBER 3: Razor-wire fencing lines a road that straddles the Russian-Estonian border, on October 3, 2025 in Lutepaa, Estonia. Estonia recently launched formal consultations with its NATO allies after an incident on September 19th in which three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets entered the Estonian skies without permission. The incursion followed other incidents in Poland and Romania, both of whom are NATO members, whose governments allege that Russian drones violated their airspace. After the September 19th incident, Estonian Prime Minister Kristen Michal said "Nato's response to any provocation must be united and strong". (Photo by Carl Court/Getty Images)
