The question is just as urgent: are NATO countries true allies, ready to fight for one another, or a pseudo-organization uncertain of its ability to respond decisively and effectively?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"398\" data-end=\"568\">In this entire scenario, our only real hope lies with the Armed Forces of Ukraine. History is showing, before our eyes, how other supposed guarantors crumble into dust.<\/p>\n<p><em>Estonia said on Tuesday that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/try-rosiyski-mih-31-porushyly-povitrianyy-prostir-estonii\/\">three Russian MiG-31 fighter jets had entered its airspace without permission<\/a> and remained there for 12 minutes. The country&#8217;s Foreign Ministry has already summoned the Russian charg\u00e9 d&#8217;affaires to protest and hand over a note regarding the incident that occurred on September 19 over the Gulf of Finland.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The agency later clarified that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/mih-31-zaletily-navmysne-v-estonii-zrobyly-zaiavu-shchodo-rosiyskoho-vtorhnennia\/\">the incursion of Russian MiG-31 fighters into Estonian airspace was deliberate<\/a>.
