Polonia a interceptat un avion rusesc de recunoaștere deasupra Mării Baltice

Polish fighter jets intercepted a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft over the Baltic Sea, 30 kilometers north of Łeba, without violating Polish airspace. Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that this incident reflects ongoing Russian tests of air defense systems. Poland regularly reports intercepting Russian aircraft in the region, with previous incidents involving Il-20s flying without transponders. Such actions complicate air traffic management and pose potential risks to airspace security. These events occur in a strategically important area for NATO, where Poland plays a key role in eastern defense.
