Poland's Military Gendarmerie confirmed on February 6, 2023, that a small unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) crashed on the grounds of the 1st Air Cavalry Battalion in Łęczyca Wielka, central Poland. No damage was caused, but the drone is suspected to have been conducting reconnaissance targeting sensitive antenna arrays on base. The drone landed approximately 70 meters from a weapons storage area. This follows a similar breach on January 28, 2023, in Przasnysz at the 2nd Radio-Electronic Center responsible for electronic intelligence and warfare monitoring near the Suwałki Gap. Polish military sources highlighted that unauthorized flying over military facilities is a criminal offense with potential prison sentences. Reports suggest Russia has escalated testing and deployment of Shahed drones using secretive trials outside Russia, including Kazakhstan and Turkey. The Polish investigation remains ongoing as the device was collected for further analysis.
