The Polish armed forces intercepted an Il-20 aircraft from Russia, which was conducting a reconnaissance mission in international airspace, without having a registered flight plan and with the transponder turned off. Although the aircraft did not violate Polish airspace, the interception was carried out quickly and efficiently due to the training of the pilots and the air defense system. The Polish Army emphasizes that protecting airspace is a daily mission and a duty, remaining constantly on alert to respond to any threat and ensure national sovereignty.
