Russia openly threatens to shoot down NATO jets – “Return of particularly aggressive attitude”. France's defense minister sees a more aggressive stance.

French reconnaissance aircraft over the Black Sea were affected. Russian warship anchored in the Bay of the Seine “as if it wanted to come and intimidate France’s air and sea patrols,” Sébastien Lecornu said. To protect NATO's eastern flank, France has deployed soldiers and aircraft to Romania as part of an international coalition.
