This is the first time a NATO member has directly destroyed Russian (if that is the case) military hardware, since when?
edit: To answer my own question, since only 2015 when a Turkish F-16 shot down a Russian Su-24.
Putin is constantly escalating in this war. I read that the missile that hit the government building a few days ago, did not explode. There was but a luke warm response to that in the west. It won't surprise me, if another attempt will follow.
I hope my gov invokes Nato Article 5. We cant be handling this BS alone.
It looks like NATO assets were already used in the response, a dutch tanker flew to refuel the F35s that were in on this.
