Quotes

Poland has launched a new operation to strengthen the defence of its airspace along its borders with Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, in particular from low-flying drones.

The operation, named Eastern Aurora, is 'in direct response to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine', which 'has increased the risk of violation of Polish airspace', says the government command of Poland’s armed forces.

Since the beginning of Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Polish airspace has been violated several times, including by Russian missiles and observation balloons, as well as Belarusian helicopters.

Polish military command announced that the main objective of the Eastern Aurora operation, which will begin on 1 August, will be to protect Poland’s airspace from objects that eventually violate its borders.

A particular target will be objects flying at low and very low altitudes, which is typical for drones and other unmanned aerial vehicles, they added.
