In a post on X, Macron said, “Following the Russian drone incursions into Poland, I have decided to deploy three Rafale fighter jets to contribute to the protection of Polish airspace and of NATO’s Eastern Flank together with our Allies.”
Poland reported 19 airspace violations by Russia on Wednesday, with at least three drones shot down. Polish and NATO jets were scrambled in response.
Poland’s drone incidents have drawn international attention, with the United States and NATO expressing support for Warsaw. Russia denied targeting Poland, but US President Donald Trump condemned the incursions as violations of NATO territory.
