US EditionBritish fighter jets to fly air defence missions over Poland after Russia's drone incursion
- RAF Typhoon fighter jets from the UK will soon begin patrols in Polish airspace as part of Nato's Eastern Sentry operation, deployed in response to the recent Russian drone violations.
- The drone incursions represent the first direct engagement of Russian drones by Nato since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in February 2022, triggering heightened regional tensions and Nato's decision to boost eastern defences.
- The deployment involves six RAF Typhoons based at RAF Coningsby, supported by RAF Voyager refuelling aircraft, alongside allied jets from Denmark, France, and Germany, continuing Nato's shared air policing missions in the region.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer emphasized that the deployment is crucial for deterring hostile actions and protecting NATO airspace, stating that Russian aggression is intensifying. He strongly condemned Moscow’s conduct as reckless, dangerous, and without precedent.
- In response, NATO members including the UK emphasized their solidarity and commitment to strengthening defenses along the eastern border, warning that any additional Russian aggression would be confronted forcefully, while Poland's prime minister described the recent event as the closest the nation has come to armed confrontation in decades.
