Polish Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz stated that Poland has strengthened its air defense posture and expanded the operational range of its air force, including F-16 fighter jets and helicopters, after multiple Russian "invasions" of its airspace in recent weeks. Polish Prime Minister Tusk warned that, according to intelligence, Russia's plans also include hybrid drone and missile attacks on countries supporting Ukraine, including Poland. Previously, Poland reported on September 23 that a Mi-8 helicopter from Kaliningrad entered Polish airspace for 42 seconds.
