Poland shoots down Russian drones after ‘multiple’ airspace violations
www.politico.eu
Warsaw airport was closed and Poles were told to stay home after military officials said the country’s airspace was “repeatedly violated by drone-type objects” early Wednesday.

Hopefully this is just the start of a new way to handling these situations. A number of other NATO countries in the area from Finland to Bulgaria could do the same.

      They are being pushed around though. 8 drones entered the Polish airspace at the same time. This is an act of aggression against NATO.

      NATO is being tested. The response is nothingburger.

      Well, he doesn’t push around Turkey anymore… So, it’s historic evidence, not legends.

        I mean the Polish are legends for not being pushed around.

        legend /lĕj′ənd/

        noun

        1. An unverified story handed down from earlier times, especially one popularly believed to be historical.
        2. A body or collection of such stories.
        3. One that inspires legends or achieves legendary fame.

        “She is a legend in her own time.”

        Sense #3.

        These are all about mann…sorry, orced airplanes.

        But I’m not really sure what they’d do with a drone. In reality, if a drone was to fly here, it would be coming from Ukraine and going to some place around Murmansk, having veered off course because of EW, so it might make sense to just follow it and see if it gets back towards its own course. And shoot it down only if it heads for a city.
