Russia denies it, but the radar don't lie. As of January 15, 2026, the international community is on edge following a series of alleged Russia NATO airspace incursions and the unveiling of a formidable new nuclear-powered missile. It's no longer just a border dispute; it's a global test of military resolve.
Escalating Russia NATO Airspace Incursions and Strategic Signaling
NATO members have reported multiple unauthorized entries by Russian military aircraft into sovereign airspace. According to reports from Al Jazeera, while Moscow maintains these are baseless accusations, Western analysts view them as deliberate grey-zone tactics. Compounding the fear is Russia's latest nuclear-powered missile, which allegedly possesses an "unlimited" range, potentially bypassing traditional missile defense systems.
