NATO scramble warplanes to protect countries bordering Ukraine
after Putin unleashes 537-missile attack

NATO warplanes were scrambled overnight in a dramatic show of
force as Vladimir Putin launched a terrifying barrage of more
than 500 missiles and drones across Ukraine.

The alliance sprang into action amid fears the Russian blitz
could spill into neighbouring countries, with Poland confirming
its fighter jets had been launched and its air defences placed
on full alert.

The massive aerial assault, involving Tu-95 strategic bombers,
MiG fighter jets, hypersonic Kinzhal 'Dagger' missiles,
Iranian-designed Shahed drones and Iskander ballistic missiles,
devastated swathes of Ukraine and triggered a desperate response
from Kyiv's air force.

Ukrainian officials said 475 of the 537 Russian aerial threats
were shot down.

Putin is stepping-up things ....
