Patriot air defense systems and F-16 fighters are already in Poland’s arsenal. With these, Poland can shoot down missiles fired by Russia over Ukraine.
Publika.az Ukrainian military expert Sergey Zgurets said this.
He recalled that one of the cruise missiles approached the border with Poland in the morning today, then turned 180 degrees and started circling over the western territories of Ukraine.
“Poland raised F-16 fighters to prevent this potential threat. In other words, the Polish leadership begins to act more decisively in such cases. What we see is that the new military leadership of Poland is already taking a more active and tough position in preventing threats to its country,” Zgurets stressed.
According to the expert, the “Patriot” complexes located in Poland partially cover a part of the territory of Ukraine, F-16 fighters can also do this.
“However, Warsaw is currently choosing a more serious strategy to avoid the moment when Poland starts shooting down Russian missiles and NATO approaches a direct confrontation with Russia.”
It should be noted that when a cruise missile launched by Russia moved towards the Ukrainian-Polish border this morning, Warsaw immediately raised its and its allies’ (NATO) planes. (Telegraf.com)
