Amid Growing Russia Threat, Poland Changes Air Defense Procedures
Poland is updating its rules of engagement for firing on foreign aircraft, citing the growing threat from Russia. The new procedures will no longer require visual identification of targets, instead using a combination of radar and other sensors to determine the identity of aerial objects. This change comes after a series of violations of Polish airspace by Russian drones and aircraft, and is seen as a response to the increasing threat from Russia. The move was reported by Notes from Poland.
