Poland will shoot down Russian fighter jets if they violate its territory, says Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
“I want to be very clear. We will make a decision to shoot down flying objects without discussion when they violate our territory and fly over Poland. There is no room for debate here,” Tusk told a press conference.
It follows a series of incidents in which Russian drones or warplanes entered airspace of Poland, Romania, and, last Friday, Estonia, when three Russian MiG-31 jets remained in the NATO member state’s airspace for nearly 12 minutes before the alliance scrambled jets in response.
