Nato strengthens defences after Russian drones shot down over Poland

A few NATO members send soldiers, artillery and air defense systems to secure the eastern wing after attacking an unprecedented Russian drone attack.

In the first hours of Wednesday, three Russian planes were shot after the Poland airspace.

Other drones fell to the ground and then found in Eastern Poland.

Poland demanded a UN Security Council session about the incident that will take place at 19:00 on Friday at 19:00.

In response to the drone attack, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic will send defense to Poland, Lithuania will receive more warnings about a German Brigade and Russia’s attacks on Ukraine.

Germany also said that “NATO will intensify its participation along the eastern border” and expand the air policing over Poland.

Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, who appealed to parliament on Thursday, said that the Dutch would place the Dutch air defense systems, artillery and 300 units, and that they would send Czech helicopters and 100 troops.

He also said that French and British could use aircraft to secure NATO’s eastern wing.

“Poland has repeatedly heard solidarity and empty gesture words throughout its history.” He said. “Today we have concrete statements.”

Although Russian drones and missiles have previously entered some NATO member states without permission, it was the most serious event since Moscow started the full -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The Kremlin said there was no more interpretation of Russia’s allegations that Russia is intentionally trying to stop tensions in Poland.

Nevertheless, many Polish and European leaders believe that the attack is deliberate.

“This Russian provocation … is nothing more than an attempt to test our abilities,” Polish President Karol Nawrocki said.

However, experts’ views are divided into whether Moscow’s drones aimed at starting the drones in Poland.

On Thursday, NATO’s senior military commander Alexus Grynkewich said it is not yet known whether the action is deliberate, and even the number of precise drones passing into the Poland airspace will be determined.

However, in the face of increasing tension from the countries that limit Russia, neither NATO nor Poland take any chance.

Gen Grynkewich said Lithuania’s risk of passing to Lithuania against Ukraine, as well as a greater warning of a German brigade that will serve as deterrence and defense.

Warsaw, Belarus and Ukraine and the eastern borders will set restrictions on drones and small air traffic, and Latvia announced that the eastern airspace will be closed for a week.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky proposed to Western military representatives to guide and training how to protect Russian air strikes as the Ukraine Defense Forces did close to the night.

Zelensky also asked a common air defense system to act as an air shield over Europe as an answer to Russia’s “arrogant” behavior.

In addition to the anxiety felt in some neighborhoods of Eastern Europe, there are great joint military exercises called Zapad 2025 due to the start of Friday between Belarus and Russia.

Poland, “very aggressive” in connection with Zapad maneuvers in connection with “Thursday, Belarus will close the border, he said.

The previous Zapad exercises were staged a few months before the war in Ukraine and contained a total of about 200,000 soldiers.

According to Lithuanian Military Intelligence Chief Mindagas Mazonas, this year’s exercise will be smaller -scale and contain up to 30,000 soldiers in total.

US President Donald Trump’s reaction to the drone attack has been silenced so far. “What is Russia to violate Poland with drones? Here we are starting!” On Wednesday, he wrote on social media without any more elaboration.

Polish President Nawrocki said that he and his US colleague spoke to allies as “part of a series of consultations” and that the talks confirmed our union again. “
