Russian Drones over Poland & latest Russian comment

From nowhere comes the news that Polish airspace is full of Russian drones. Airports close, fighter jets are in the air, rhetoric spreads through all major news, while NATO calls for consultations. Photos of ‘downed Russian drones in Poland’ and missile fragments appear.  The NATO Secretary General said fighter jets from four countries were involved in intercepting drones over Poland. According to Tusk, “three or four” drones were shot down.

Belarus stated that it shot down some drones at night, which were diverted from their course by electronic warfare actions.

“During the nighttime mutual exchange of strikes with unmanned aerial vehicles between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, the duty forces and air defense means of the Republic of Belarus constantly tracked drones that lost their course as a result of the electronic warfare measures of the parties.

Some of the lost drones were destroyed by the air defense forces of our country over the territory of the republic.

Through existing channels of interaction, from 23:00 on September 9 to 4:00 on September 10, our duty forces and means exchanged information about the air and radar situation with the duty forces and means of Poland and the Republic of Lithuania. This notified them of the approach of unknown aerial vehicles to the territory of their countries.

This allowed the Polish side to promptly respond to the drone actions by scrambling their duty forces into the air.

To be fair, it should be noted that the Polish side also informed the Belarusian duty combat crews about the approach of unidentified aerial vehicles from the territory of Ukraine to the border of the Republic of Belarus,” the Belarusian Ministry of Defense said.

Fragments of an AIM-120C-7 AMRAAM air-to-air missile were discovered in Poland. The missile was fired either by Dutch F-35s or Polish F-16s during the interception of “stray drones.”

Elena Panina from Russtrat.ru reports:

In the case of the “Russian drones in Poland,” what matters is not what happened — but why.

On the night of September 10, Warsaw reported “repeated” violations of Polish airspace by Russian UAVs and that those which allegedly posed an immediate threat were shot down by Polish air defense forces with NATO allies’ support (fighters, including Dutch F-35s, were scrambled). Airports were closed, debris reportedly hit a residential building in Vyryky, but there were no casualties. The total number of drones is being determined — Polish media mention figures ranging from 8 to 20 drones.

Amid the many statements flowing from Poland and its surroundings, clear outlines of what is happening emerge. It is most likely an element of a higher-order system.

▪️ Recently, discussions have intensified in Western circles about the negotiation process between Russia and the USA, which is expected to become a major problem for Euro-globalists. For many in the EU, especially Poland and the Baltic political diaspora in Brussels, the very idea of a “US-Russia deal” is perceived as a threat: Washington might try to “shift” the Ukrainian front onto Europe to focus on China. Therefore, the pro-European Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and figures like the head of EU diplomacy Kaja Kallas have a direct interest in blocking any hint of Moscow-Washington negotiations with a loud incident — particularly in the NATO sphere. This would put Trump “on the spot”: he would have to either ignore the incident, casting doubt on the entire idea of NATO’s “collective security,” or spoil relations with Moscow. Notably, the Polish president Karol Nawrocki, who is not inclined toward Ukrainophilia, has not made any loud statements so far.

The drone incident fits perfectly as such a trigger. It is small in scale: no casualties, no direct strike on a NATO military base. Yet it is quite loud: airport closures, interception by allies, damage to someone’s home. This creates the picture of “Russia violating the sovereignty of a NATO member country,” which will be impossible to ignore in Washington and Brussels.

So far, Tusk has requested consultations through NATO channels under Article 4 of the North Atlantic Treaty. Although the alliance, as Reuters reported a few hours ago, has already stated that it does not consider the incident an attack by Russia.

▪️ Why does this look like an information operation? Similar cases of drone crashes in Poland or Romania previously passed quietly and were interpreted as unintentional accidents. Now the reaction is disproportionately louder: emergency meetings, talk of an “act of aggression,” public pushing of the idea of a “drone wall.” In other words, a technical incident is being turned into a political case designed to complicate any progress toward effective US-Russia negotiations.

Even judging by footage of drones resembling “Gerber” decoys, published by Polish media, the fact that the Russian Armed Forces have no serious intention to attack Poland is obvious. Primarily because Moscow does not need this at all. And if it did — there would not be just 8 drones, but 800.

No requests from Poland for contacts have been received by the Kremlin; any information about possible appeals is not true, Dmitry Peskov stated.

The press secretary of the Russian president noted that commenting on the incident is not within the Kremlin’s competence, while also noting that the leadership of the EU and NATO accuses Russia of provocations daily.
