[DM] The graveyard shift inside Nato's Allied Air Command in Ramstein, Germany. For the watchkeepers, just another night staring into the electronic abyss of monitors and screens.
They are used to watching hundreds of Russia's mass- produced drones pounding Ukraine's cities, setting apartment blocks ablaze. Agonising to watch from afar, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Then something disturbing draws an observer closer to the bank of computers. A squadron of Russian drones, after lifting off from Belarus, has banked starboard towards Poland.
Emergency procedures are triggered. Lights flash and Nato's digitally integrated Air Command and Control System takes over.
