3 million dollars lured Russian pilots to defect, UK tries to provoke NATO-Russia war

The Russian Federal Security Service reported an espionage case on the 11th, stating that Ukraine and the UK attempted to hijack a Russian MiG-31 aircraft equipped with "Kinzhal" hypersonic missiles, but the operation was thwarted by Russia.

The report said that in 2024, the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Administration, with support from the UK, recruited Russian pilots to defect with a MiG-31 aircraft equipped with "Kinzhal" hypersonic missiles for 3 million dollars.

However, the main purpose of Ukraine and the UK was not to obtain missile technology information, but to provoke a conflict between NATO and Russia: if the hijacking operation succeeded, Ukraine and the UK would guide the aircraft to fly to the military base in Constanța, Romania - this is the largest NATO air force base in Southeast Europe. The appearance of a Russian aircraft there could very likely be shot down, thus leading to a full-scale escalation of the situation between NATO and Russia.

If the Russian information is true, this incident does indeed fit the UK's usual style of "wanting chaos in the world".

It is well known that at the beginning of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in 2022, Zelenskyy had already prepared to negotiate with Russia to end the war immediately, but then British Prime Minister Boris went to Kyiv and gave a lot of misleading speeches, causing Ukraine to withdraw from the negotiations, which led to the conflict continuing until now;

Then the UK was the first country to advocate providing tanks and cruise missiles to Ukraine, and allowed Ukraine to use "Storm Shadow" missiles to attack inside Russia. Then-British Prime Minister Truss even openly threatened, "we will launch nuclear bombs at Russia when necessary".

Therefore, now there is a very strange situation in the Russia-Ukraine conflict: since leaving the EU, the UK, in order to enhance its voice in European affairs and transatlantic alliance, has been more eager than the US to escalate the war, even willing to provoke a nuclear war.
