Poland has deployed military aviation in its airspace for the second time due to fresh strikes carried out by Russia on Ukrainian territory, according to the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces. This follows the initial deployment of aviation, which was reported in response to Russian strikes on Ukraine, prompting the activation of ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems.
The command emphasized that these actions are preventive in nature, aimed at safeguarding the airspace and protecting it, particularly in regions bordering threatened zones. No breaches of Polish airspace have been documented since the initial deployment, the command stated. However, just an hour after reporting the cessation of military aviation operations following the conclusion of Russian strikes on Ukraine, the Polish military announced the repeated deployment of aviation.
The Operational Command explained that, per established protocols, the Air Operations Center – Air Component Command deployed the requisite forces and assets. Ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems were once more put on alert, underscoring the ongoing concern over the situation in Ukraine and Poland's commitment to ensuring the security of its airspace.
