- European military experts warn Russia is actively planning targeted aggression against NATO, with the stated aim of testing alliance solidarity.
- Two recent high-alert incidents illustrate the risk: a foiled explosive drone plot at a German airport and a strike near the Ukraine-Poland border targeting European VIPs.
Why it matters: The stated aim — testing solidarity rather than seizing land — centers directly on NATO's Article 5 commitment. The foiled German airport drone plot and Ukraine-Poland border strike force member states to decide whether hybrid attacks on alliance territory trigger collective defense, or pass without response.
