What's to stop Russian forces from destroying these EW/Signals planes that're feeding info to the Ukies?

If the US could bomb Laos to get at Vietcong supply lines what's to stop Russia from shooting down american spy planes feeding info and ammo to the enemy?
US would put a no fly zone in response... they need to live with it or the all or nothing Russian approach would turn to the nothing side for everyone.

Well :
1.They're not inside Ukrainian airspace but in Polish or Romanian airspace.
2.(important) US is NATO member and not officially enter the war. shooting down this aircraft is a call for article 5.

Unfortunately for the Russians, feeding intelligence is not a cassus belli.

All they can do is to offset the information advantages with their own intel e.g A-50U or Tu-214R, which US wont do anything against.

Ukraine hopes for a Russian direct attack against US forces that could draw the USA more into the war.

Hitler was angry that the then officially neutral USA was using its navy to help supplies reach the UK.
On one occasion, a German U-boat commander asked for permission to sink an American battleship that was
in a German zone of exclusion in the Atlantic Ocean. That permission was denied because Hitler did not wish
to give the USA a pretext to declare war upon Germany.

"Without the west China would also remain a feudal backwater."

When Europe was going through feudalism, China was generally much more advanced in technology.
They must of stagnated then because by WW2 the developed world had left them behind.

"Without the west China would also remain a feudal backwater."

When Europe was going through feudalism, China was generally much more advanced in technology.
Joseph Needham asserted that Europe's development depended significantly upon its readiness to learn from China,
though, of course, Western textbooks rarely, if ever, give the Chinese any credit for inspiring advances in the West.
_The Genius of China_ is a book of highlights from the continuing historical series _Science and Civilisation in China_

While pursuing the Republican nomination in the 2016 US Presidential campaign, Carly Florina (a former Hewlett-Packard CEO)
stated or implied that Chinese scientists and engineers were incapable of original or creative work--a popular belief in the USA.
In response, some ethnic Chinese scientists and engineers at Hewlett-Packard criticized her for her ignorance of their original or
creative work. Did Carly Florina imagine that all they could do was copy (or 'steal') the work of their superior white colleagues?
Yet Carly Florina (a white woman) was considered the best qualified person to lead Hewlett-Packard.

Without China, the west would still be stuck in dark-age barbarism... however one could argue, they still are, judging by recent events.

Anyway, good read...
