Nato-Land: Polen: Russischer Militärhubschrauber dringt in Luftraum ein
Ein russischer Mi-8-Hubschrauber verletzt für 42 Sekunden den polnischen Luftraum. Die Armee des Nato-Landes lässt Kampfjets aufsteigen und spricht von einem weiteren Test für die Luftabwehr.
Warsaw - A Russian military helicopter allegedly breached Polish airspace for a short period, according to the Polish Army. The Mi-8 helicopter came from the direction of Russia's Kaliningrad exclave and entered Polish airspace north of Braniewo, the Supreme Command announced. The incident lasted 42 seconds. Poland deployed fighter jets and put its air defense on alert.
The nature of the incident suggests Russia is testing the readiness of our air defense, the message stated. Poland shares a 232-kilometer border with the Russian territory of Kaliningrad. Concerns exist in Poland and the Baltic states that Russia might provoke NATO territory given its issues in the Ukraine conflict. Recently, there have been multiple drone strikes on targets in Western Ukraine near Poland's border, and a passenger train from Kiev to Warsaw was also attacked.
