Public opinion is predominantly negative regarding the incursions of Russian drones into Polish airspace, with significant skepticism about the government narratives and NATO's response. Many comments express urgency for decisive action against these threats while fearing potential escalation into a larger conflict. There is a notable division between those calling for military engagement and those doubting the authenticity of the threats, reflecting deep-rooted frustration and distrust.

Apparently, it's not just Poland. Slovakia and Moldova too.

It is obvious that borders are being tested. How far can the Russians go? Will Europe raise the baby or will it be spoiled? Turkey has shown the way. Shoot down and destroy everything as soon as it touches our airspace. They don't understand diplomacy.

Enough, Russia. You've crossed the red line. Now you're leaving the West with no choice but to take a drastic decision: send its strongest letter of condemnation.

Polish news TV on the matter:

Ukraine warns: Russian Shahed drones have entered Polish airspace via the eastern border. Polish and NATO allied aircraft are operating in Polish airspace. Unconfirmed reports indicate an incursion of several Russian drones into Polish airspace.

Seems only fair to strike the launch sites of these drones

Many people have warned of a Russian test of Article 5 since 2022. This looks like such a test to me. Poland and NATO will need to come down very hard on this escalation.

Notice-to-Airmen (NOTAM) issued not only for the closure of Lublin but now even Warsaw airport because of unplanned military activity.

I'm sure we will get some downplaying of the event tomorrow in order to remove the necessity for a political reaction

Deep_Blue_Kitsune

The NATO eyebrows are in the process of furrowing.

Chorchapu

It’s okay, those are peaceful drones. Also, if not Ukraine they wouldn’t fly there. It’s Ukraine’s fault.

If Trump was a president it would have never happened. So it’s also Biden’s fault.

meanwhile Europe: it's still not ours war

It’s insane that Poland after three years still does not engage Russian air targets near their border. A functional air defence bubble is the absolute minimum that NATO should have done just out of plain necessity to stop things like this happening.

Denbt_Nationale

Hopefully, Russia biting off more then it can chew this time.

Rude_Asparagus_382

I really wish folks would grow some balls and just shoot these down. I don’t understand what the advantage of continually letting them penetrate NATO airspace is supposed to be.

Edit: It sounds like Poland finally did. Good for them.

Kowlz1

Here's a thought, Poland.

Shoot. Them. Down.

I am sure Poland will find a way to repay the favour.

ProfessionalTruck976

Russia doing everything it can while Trump is in office. Drones not only flying over Ukraine right now, but Europe/Nato as well. Putin and Xi can’t believe their great planning is coming together so easily. And remember- those who refuse to fight for freedom will lose it. It’s happening in real time.

Time for a NATO enforced no-fly zone in Ukrainian oblasts bordering NATO members? They'll say this intrusion was a mistake, well so then how can Russia argue when their pilots are too incompetent to not cross a NATO border to start with and NATO members should just put up with it?

Russia is gonna keep doing this until someone makes them stop, It’s that simple. Unfortunately.

Putin knows there will be no response from United States, he knows Donald Trump, the felonious pedophile who he has a mountain of Kompromat on will do nothing.

usethe4ce_uHorse

oh don't worry about lack of military actions, it will eventually be ww3


i have already joked that our donated shoulder launched missile launchers should be sent directly over estonian border to russia, why sent them to ukraine first


that day might actually come. i'm not looking forward to it but yeaaah. since 2007 i personally gave been prepared for war essentially


there was drone here too. i bet russians did this on purpose, they faked the location so it ended up nearly in middle of estonia at local farmers field. noone noticed it until someone found hold in morning. it had warhead and everything. it doesn't help that maker was ukraine. or perhaps us here


sadly, i would bet that in this war we would actually launch nukes too. because why have them then? after that, russia will of course fall, and so will china, north korea, iran and other dictactorships. maybe even us, that's on path to there now. unfortunately, we would lose too


i think we have let this war run 1294 days too far. ton of infrastructure and people are gone in both ukraine and actually in russia too. all those young men. and basically for nothing. but then when have dictators had reasons for war anyway?


yesterday i saw interview of russian in ukraine telling she was born near moscow and she can't believe our own people do such things


but then that's how it works. i don't even fully get why russians as a whole let their leaders to do that to own people


we'll see how this ends. but one is for sure, when this ends, russia is lost. they basically decided to pee pants in winter to get warm. now they have to keep peeing. but it will eventually get cold, like really cold, siberian cold


as i've said elsewhere earlier, russia has issue too in military. ukraine has reasons ton fight, they protect their country. but russian military is just forced to attack innocent neighbours without any reason


russia is funny thing. they would be world power. theye have everything, every mineral and natural resource, and smart people. they could cooperate with others. but no, instead they fuck with neighbours. on our border, they build permanent stage where they just troll us over the river. imagine country doing that. kids, yes. country, wtf!

realketas

So far, this is only a claim made by the Ukrainian side. Our services and officials have not confirmed anything in this case, so there is no reason to get excited/worried at this point.

At least until it is confirmed by someone trustworthy, i.e., our military or NATO.

just image if those drones bring lethal neven gas or dirty bombs.

If it could drive straight in like that in any scenarios…

Appropriate-Edge2492

Could this be happening due to signal jamming?

QiTriX

But remember guys, we don’t want to escalate

vestekp

I am so happy that we are goingt to do NOTHING about this

The_guy_G

russia sends drones at night so Poland can say, "we slept and didn't see anything.". early, it was unknown and not dangerous drones.

PuzKarapuz

They were obviously jammed, the Reddit brigade wants to start ww3 😂

CommanderCorrigan

PersonalCable7254

It seems that the Polish air defense is not going to protect the Poles and would rather just let the one or two drones fall on their innocent heads.

kamogrjadeshi

It’s time for Putin to understand what consequences are, Soviet Russia is in the past where it belongs. Im talking strikes on all major transport roads, destruction of his precious pipeline in multiple areas, and sanctions upon sanctions until his population uprises and finally decides to overthrow his regime.

LitSouthern

As a Ukrainian, I don’t think NATO will do something about it. It happened before, and the 5th NATO article still wasn't activated. 

If the rest of the Europe won't act up, this war will spread far beyond the Ukrainian borders. Slava Ukraini, hope everyone is safe.

zeba_art32

It's now or never for Russia. They couldn't stall the fake negotiations much longer. Highly expected they were going to make a push.

Tweet from Deputy Defence Minister Cezary Tomczyk:

"Over Poland, an operation to neutralize objects that have violated and exceeded the border of the Republic of Poland is underway. The state authorities, namely the President of the Republic of Poland and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland, have been notified. All services are in action. We ask you to follow the announcements of the Polish Army and the Police."

I predict that Poland will shoot down the drones, NATO will have a strongly worded letter ready, Orban will say he doesnt support sanctions against Russia, and life will go on as the current status quo of war.

Seeing this happen in real time is wild stay safe guys.

CreepySniper94

Unless that Shahed factory inside Russia is bombed, Russia will not be deterred.

AcanthocephalaEast79

Today 20 drones, tomorrow 800 drones per day + 20 super sonic rockets. So yeah, it is war.

Wise-Path-9134

Fuck Russia, how long will it be able to cross the borders and not fall instantly? Regardless of whether it's manned or not, once it crosses the border it needs to be taken down.

This is the result of weak leaders. EU and Trump. Chamberlain v2. More interested in subduing their own population….

Transfer enough long range cruise missiles to Ukraine to let it destroy Russia's drone factories. Tomahawks if we have to. The gloves must come off.

EmergencyRace7158

Next time a Russian bomber/fighter ventures into NATO airspace it should be shot down immediately.

They don't understand anything but power.

ChallahTornado

Yep, article 5, and we should cover at least partially sky above Ukraine.

Pasza_Dem

Good. This is how you deal with bullies, by punching them in the face, repeatedly if necessary.

PandaCheese2016

NATO should declare that to protect its airspace from further incursions it will start shooting down anything over Ukraine not identified as Ukrainian coming within X number of kilometers from NATO borders.

GRRA-1

Can't wait to see how the Russians will spin this

shadowofzero

Ignorant question - What is the trajectory of these Drones? Russia is literally in the east side of Ukraine, Poland is on the opposite side... where are these drones being launched that they need to cross Polands air space?

Mig-117

Trump will soon come out and tell Poland that they don't have any cards and they need to give up 20% of Poland in order to appease putin.

makeshitupallthetime

You can see how nothing would happen because they chickennout saying that "targets were located in territory of Ukraine" excusing the Russians by suggesting it is a mistake or malfunction.


Whereas in reality Russia is weakening NATO by making article 5 optional and checking out air defenses.

gizcard

Sure sounds like these were multiple breaches of airspace. 

Leaves two theories for me:

1. A rogue Ivan who’s all hyped up on his ussr juices decided to program a bunch of mopeds to polish coordinates

2. Putin has ordered an escalation


Either way, Europe needs to step up to the big boys plate and start punching Russia back. Who cares about escalation at this point. F them

Ant0n61

Time to extend the protection a few km from Polish borders. Just to be sure any other object does not enter the airspace. I bet Ukraine would give permission for shooting alien objects over it's airspace.

Unicorn_Colombo

Do we have number of drones that violated the border in total? Is it something about 20 or how many?

Edem_13

I hope Putin is ready for a strongly worded letter!

Time for article 5. Russia making more noise signals desperation more than anything else to me. They think they can bully EU to get Ukraine to give up more land. 

Well, FAFO

apoca1ypse12

I might be wrong but seemingly it took long, you'd think shutting down all Russian aircraft would be an immediate response. In fact not doing so would be like conspiring against Ukraine.

Oh my god finally the cowards are doing something, they let weapons fly through their zones for years and tolerating it, enabling terrorism and war crimes isn’t great. There’s more countries that need to wake up like this for example Romania. Stop accepting it.

KananX

Do you expect them to stop in mid air or to shoot them down?

Soft-Ad3660

Ban all flights from Russia - so stupid

  
I was in Rzeszow two weeks ago at the airport -

Quiet_Simple1626

Welp.. when Poland becomes rich there is always a war

Strange-Ad2470

I was sure since 2022 russian airlines are banned. Ffs it should be banned these creatures don't care about civilians and would crash another plane just for chaos.

Poland has taken significant security measures in response to reports of Russian drones entering its airspace, including closing main airports and scrambling fighter jets in coordination with NATO.
