The Polish Air Force intercepted a Russian reconnaissance aircraft Ilyushin Il-20, which was flying over the Baltic Sea, without violating Polish airspace, but without a flight plan and with the transponder turned off. The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces emphasized the effectiveness of the response, highlighting the preparedness of the pilots and the air defense system. The incident comes amid rising tensions between NATO and Russia, with accusations of airspace violations from Russia. NATO has warned Moscow and announced the Eastern Sentry program to deter Russian incursions. Other recent incidents in Denmark and Norway suggest increased activity of Russian drones, but the Kremlin has dismissed the accusations. European leaders emphasize the need to be prepared for current threats.
