Estonia: the rocket was very fast, and we could not notice it

Estonia was laughed at because of the statement of the Ministry of Defense.

Despite the fact that the recent incident of launching a rocket from Estonian airspace to Russia in the direction of Russia posed a great danger to users of the Spanish air force, users from all over the world enjoyed the announcement made by the Estonian Ministry of Defense. As follows from the statement of the military department, the air-to-air missile produced by the Spanish fighter turned out to be very fast, as a result of which the radar could not detect it.

“The flight speed of a combat missile is four times the speed of sound and is small. <...> Estonia has no anti-aircraft weapons capable of tracking such objects ", - said in an official message on the website of the Ministry of Defense of Estonia.

It should be clarified that the released and non-self-destructing military missile has not been found so far - according to some sources, it fell on the territory of Estonia, on others - flying the border with Russia, fell into the territory of a neighboring state ..

"Estonia is very difficult to monitor supersonic missiles. Please, in case of an attack, use slow rockets. ", - said in the message of the user "Twitter".

"Estonia began to talk about this as if it had just realized this incident," says the Facebook user.

It should be clarified that almost immediately after the incident, provocative information began to appear that the accidental launch of the missile towards Russia could provoke a full-fledged military conflict and give Russia a chance to attack Estonia.
