A twelve Russian drones flying into Poland's airspace cannot be a coincidence. Even if they were not targeted by circumstantial facilities in our territory, the Operations Command was actually warned of the threat of the Kremlin-dependent Belarus, the fact remains. Russian-organized provocation is an act of aggression. But from this NATO confrontation, at least for now, it comes out victorious.
The Russian provocations that have occurred in fresh months are a long chain of events. We have already had harm to offshore power cables, single drones and missiles entering Polish airspace, and disinformation in social media is almost everyday. Tonight, however, past accelerated rapidly. The Russians decided to put us on a serious test, releasing over our territory respective unmanned and at least 1 missile.
Why did the incidental happen right now? It's most likely a kind of didascale to start shortly ‘Fault’ manoeuvres. As of Friday, the combined Russian-Belarusian forces will practice the "cutting" of the corridor, which would lead them through NATO to the royal circuit. possibly Putin besides decided to rise the stakes, as he felt exceptionally assured after the last summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, erstwhile he held the hands of India and China leaders, swarming at the beginning of a compact anti-Western block. And unfortunately, we can't regulation out that he's a bit of a last man. negotiations with president Trump and the red carpet he walked on in Alaska.
By releasing their drones over Poland, the Russians most likely wanted to test NATO air defence systems and the determination of allies. And I don't think this test worked out very well for them. Poland decided to decision without precedent. For the first time since we were faced with these kinds of threats, the military opened fire and eliminated any unmanned workers. Not much, Polish soldiers in this operation were seconded by allies deployed on our territory. The procedures worked properly. The Alliance has shown unity. Of course, this is not the time to pat yourself on the back. Russian drones have caused damage. The media ran around photos of a partially demolished home and people in despair. Unfortunately, that cannot be avoided. No anti-aircraft defence in the planet is tight adequate to constitute an absolutely impenetrable barrier. Nor is it possible to break down all rockets and drones in specified a way that their remains cease to pose a threat to what is below. But that's not all. The Polish air defence strategy is inactive far from ideal. It's just rising. But it does, and that's good news.
Except today's military operation doesn't end. By hitting Poland, Putin besides plays for the intellectual effect. He wants to sow fear and doubt, deepen strife and political divisions. And this is where he lost his first run. The government and the president, though they share almost everything, stood in 1 line on this matter. But already in social media bots serving Russian narration stone for good. Here and there there are inferences that Putin can actually do whatever he likes in Poland. There is besides a message that unmanned and rockets most likely release Ukraine, which at all costs wants to draw us into war – "and this is not our war". expanding this kind of communicative usually goes hand in hand with various types of diversionary actions. In the coming days and in this field, an escalation can be expected. There is simply a real hazard that social sentiments will be shaken. And the question is, how long will it last? political ceasefire.
Shooting down Russian drones doesn't end the case. You could say the game is just starting.
