NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) — Transatlantic military alliance. A July 2026 iiss report found hundreds of Russian drones surveilled NATO member-state airspace (Aug 2024–Feb 2026), including nuclear-mission bases ramstein-air-base and volkel-air-base. In September 2026, NATO fighters shot down a Russian drone swarm headed toward Poland — the alliance’s first air-to-air engagement of a threat in allied airspace. Secretary-General mark-rutte has confirmed there is no blanket policy to shoot down all drones; responses are decided case-by-case.
