The commander of NATO forces in Europe, General Alexus Grynkewich, announced on Wednesday in a statement that the North Atlantic Alliance maintains close contact with Poland and the other allies on drones, which have violated Polish aircraft last night.
He added that the alliance reacted “quickly and definitely” to the situation with drones, demonstrating its capabilities.
Consultations with allies took the form of a formal application to launch art. 4 NATO – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk in the Sejm. “We will expect much greater support in defense of Polish space,” he said.
On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, the Polish Operational Command of the Armed Forces informed that during Russia's night attack on Ukraine, Poland airspace was repeatedly violated by drones. The necessary procedures were launched to ensure its safety. Around 7.40 Cod informed at X about the end of aviation operation.
Deputy Prime Minister, head of the Ministry of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that drones that could be a threat were shot down.
According to NATO, the alliance aircraft for the first time fought with a potential threat in NATO airspace. They were – as the sources said – Polish F -16 fighters, Dutch f -35 fighters and Italian Awacs reconnaissance aircraft.
The North Atlantic Council is to discuss the alliance's reaction to this event on Wednesday.
