Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysh said in an interview with Voice of America that Poland often prepares F-16 fighter jets to defend the territory in case of a threat. He stressed that although there had never been any cases of missiles being directed at Polish territory, last week Polish F-16s were scrambled to protect the border. The minister noted that the problem of violation of Polish airspace also affects Latvia and Romania, where unknown drones often appear.
The situation with violation of Polish airspace also applies to Latvia, as well as Romania, where incidents with drones regularly occur. Poland has prepared an air defense system and has a strengthened defense complex, including Rzeszow Airport, guarded by NATO. In the event of an airspace violation, Poland and its allies, including America, Britain, Germany and Norway, will be ready to shoot down a missile or drone.
Missiles shot down over Ukraine – what is known. At the end of August, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski announced the need to shoot down Russian missiles in the airspace over Ukraine. The media reported that the head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry asked Romania to shoot down mines over Ukraine. The President of Ukraine and the Secretary General of NATO discussed the option of involving neighboring countries in shooting down Russian missiles and drones over Ukraine.
On November 12, the head of the General Staff of the Polish Armed Forces said that the country would not shoot down Russian missiles and drones in the skies over Ukraine. On December 4, Kosiniak-Kamysh said that Western air defense systems received by Poland would protect the airspace exclusively of NATO countries.
