Russian Military Helicopter Entered Polish Airspace Briefly, Polish Army Says
- On Wednesday, a Russian Mi-8 helicopter violated Polish airspace near Braniewo, penetrating about 300 meters for 42 seconds before returning to Kaliningrad, the Polish Army Operational Command reported.
- The Operational Command characterized the incursion as a deliberate test of air defense readiness, noting it follows a string of Russian airspace violations along NATO's eastern flank over the past year.
- Polish radar systems tracked the aircraft throughout the flight, prompting the military to scramble fighter jets while ground-based air defense units remained on alert.
- Following previous incursions, Poland invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty, prompting the alliance to launch the Eastern Sentry air defense mission along its eastern flank.
