If some kind of plausally deniable local insurgency was being backed by Russia, NATO wouldn’t need to worry they would just let the local authorities handle it. If they started turning up with drones, rocket launchers, and military vehicles it would be suspicious so they would have to keep things small scale and if it’s small scale the local military will be able to cope.
I’m just imagining a bunch of right-wing nutcases running around with AKs, they would probably shoot their own feet off.
