Poland scrambled its military aircraft at night due to russian missile attack on Ukraine

Poland scrambled its military aircraft at night due to the russian federation's missile attack on Ukraine.

The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces has reported this.

"Attention, due to the activity of the long-range aviation of the Russian Federation, which is striking at objects located, in particular, in the west of Ukraine, a military aviation operation has begun in Polish airspace," the command said in a post on X.

The Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces has activated all the forces and means at its disposal, and ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have been put on alert. The measures taken are aimed at ensuring security in areas bordering the threatening areas.

"The operational command is monitoring the current situation, and subordinate forces and means are fully prepared for immediate response," the message says.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, on November 1, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski responded to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's words that Poland had not handed over the rest of its MiG aircraft and did not want to shoot down the missiles of the aggressor country russia over Ukraine.

On November 6, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine commented on the words of Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski, who accused Zelenskyy of trying to drag Poland into a war with the aggressor country russia.

Recall that on August 30, the Polish Ministry of Defense refused to shoot down russian missiles and drones over the territory of Ukraine.
