Ukraine's air force warns that Russian drones entered Poland's airspace

Is putin testing the water re NATO's response to Russian incursions?

Will some posters brush this away, as an understandable reaction on the part of putin to Ukraine's refusal to cede territory to the nation that has invaded, occupied, attacked, and brutalized Ukraine?

Poland's Tusk calls emergency security meeting

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is set to meet ministers responsible for state security, with an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers at 8 a.m. local time (0600 GMT), a government spokesman has said.

Tusk said he was in "constant contact" with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte and that operations were ongoing.

Poland says it scrambled its own and NATO air defenses to shoot down drones on Wednesday after a Russian air attack on western Ukraine.

It marks the first time that Warsaw has engaged assets in its airspace since Russia launched the war in Ukraine.


Polish military accuses Russia of 'act of aggression'

The Polish military has condemned repeated violations of its airspace amid a Russian attack on neighboring Ukraine.

Officials said trackers had spotted a dozen drone-type objects, downing some of them.

"Following today's attack by the Russian Federation on Ukrainian territory, an unprecedented violation of Polish airspace by drone-type objects took place," the operational command of Poland's armed forces said on social media.

"This is an act of aggression that has created a real threat to the safety of our citizens."...

Hmm.

What we need from Poland is a clear, unequivocal statement about the origin of these drones. The above language can be taken to suggest that the drones were Russian, but they haven't outright said that.

If they indeed downed drones in their territory then they should be able to recover materials and offer proof about the origin. I will wait for that before concluding these were Russian vs. Ukranian vs. some random idiot flying his DJI fleet.

And?

The US is also a NATO member, lest you've forgotten.
 
Where is MAGA? There are so many things that are afraid to talk about now.
 
Ukraine is emerging as one of the best military countries in the world.

I think these statements are more than definitive and certainly put to bed the ridiculous notion that Ukraine made it up as some here have suggested. This is damn serious stuff and Poland has invoked article 4 of the NATO agreement. So much for all the talk that Trump was gong to make to world a lot safer. Together with the Qatar incident we see that neither Putin nor Netanyahu respect nor fear Trump.

" Tusk said there were 19 intrusions of his country’s airspace, and that a “large proportion” of the drones entered it from Belarus. He called the incident an “unprecedented violation of (its) airspace” and said it lasted all night – from just before midnight local time on Tuesday until 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday. Poland’s interior ministry said seven drones and parts of one unidentified missile have been found. The locations where the debris was found span the area of hundreds of miles. The ministry’s spokesperson Karolina Gałecka said that one of the drones hit a residential building in the village of Wyryki, in eastern Poland, near the border with both Ukraine and Belarus."

  • Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote on social media that “Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a large number of Russian drones. Those drones that posed a direct threat were shot down.” Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz thanked NATO Air Command and The Royal Netherlands Air and Space Force for supporting the action of neutralizing “more than 10 objects” that crossed into Polish airspace with F-35 fighter jets.
  • The Russian action amounts to an unprecedented violation of Polish airspace and posed “a real threat” to Polish citizens, the Polish military’s Operational Command said in a statement.

 
It looks like those pleading for negotiations to end the Ukraine war and not stand up to Putin are the real war mongers.
