Avion rusesc de recunoaștere, interceptat de avioane de luptă poloneze în Marea Baltică

Polish fighter jets intercepted a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea, about 40 kilometers from Poland's coast. This incident reflects ongoing Russian military activities near NATO's eastern flank. Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that such interceptions are part of a broader pattern of pressure from Russia. Recent months have seen multiple similar incidents, with Polish and allied aircraft responding to Russian military presence. The interception follows the discovery of a Russian drone with explosives on a Polish beach, highlighting heightened security measures in Poland due to regional military activities. Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called for increased alertness in Europe amid concerns of hybrid attacks from Russia.
