NATO allies should use anti-aircraft systems to shoot down Russian missiles over Ukraine from the territory of Poland, Nico Lange, senior researcher at the Munich Security Conference, stated in an interview with Tagesschau.As Ukraine flounders on the battlefield amid manpower and hardware losses in the face of Russia’s steady advance, Lange insisted:“From now on, partners should use the numerous ‚Patriot‘ systems on our eastern borders to shoot down all Russian missiles and drones that they have within range over Ukraine,“ referencing primarily the alliance’s air defense systems in eastern Poland.“This would be fully covered under international law,” Lange assured, citing as an example the assistance of Israel’s allies in repelling an Iranian strike last week.
