Poland warns Russia is planning drone or rocket strikes on NATO territory

  • NATO officials report a significant increase in Russian hybrid attacks against member states, with more than 200 incidents recorded last year, signaling a dangerous shift toward overt aggression beyond routine cyberattacks.
  • After four years of adaptation, Moscow has evolved its aerial arsenal, fielding jet-powered drones exceeding 400 km/h and massing ballistic missiles to overwhelm Ukrainian air-defense networks running short of interceptors.
  • Recent incidents confirm European vulnerability: on September 14, an Italian NATO fighter jet shot down a Russian-made Geran-2 drone over Lithuania; an attempted drone attack at Leipzig/Halle airport in Germany occurred last month.
  • Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk cautioned that Russia could target countries supporting Ukraine in the coming month, while NATO plans to establish a critical energy infrastructure network to enhance collective security.
  • Janis Sarts, director of NATO's Center of Excellence for Strategic Communications, emphasizes that the alliance must prepare for further escalation, as Russia's willingness to risk serious attacks and human casualties increases.
