Poland scrambles fighter jets to intercept Russian spy plane near NATO airspace

Poland scrambled two F-16 fighter jets to intercept a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft flying approximately 40 kilometers north of Kołobrzeg over the Baltic Sea, according to Poland's Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz. The aircraft was operating in international airspace without a flight plan and had its transponder disabled. The ministry confirmed there was no violation of Polish airspace and emphasized that the armed forces would continue monitoring the situation and responding firmly to Russian actions. This incident follows a recent Russian missile attack on Ukraine, during which a Russian cruise missile entered Polish airspace, prompting discussions about potential defensive measures.
