"From the method side of NATO and the EU would be able to do so, but this is not a decision that Poland can make on its own, but only together with allies. Protecting our population – for example from falling shrapnel – would surely be greater if we could fight drones and another objects flying outside our territory," the paper said.
The no-fly region means that any air traffic is prohibited over the territory afraid and that appropriate forces guarantee that the ban is respected.
"Drones in Poland is no coincidence"

Risk in the Baltic
