In Poland, combat aircraft were scrambled on Tuesday morning, and ground-based reconnaissance and air defense systems were placed on high alert due to Russia’s missile strike on Ukraine.
This was reported on X by the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces.
“Due to the activity of the Russian Federation’s long-range aviation carrying out strikes on Ukrainian territory, Polish and allied aircraft have begun operating in Poland’s airspace. In accordance with established procedures, the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces has mobilized all available forces and assets. A pair of fighter jets on duty and an airborne early warning aircraft have been deployed, while ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have been put on the highest level of readiness,” the statement said.
It is noted that these measures are preventive in nature and aimed at securing and protecting the airspace, especially in areas adjacent to zones under threat.
The Operational Command emphasized that the situation is under control, and all forces and assets remain fully prepared for immediate response.
