Duplicate the antimi -defense with More patriot batteriesduplicate the Air Police with More NATO fightersincrease the deployment of medium -range rockets and accelerate the construction of Obstacles for infantry and armored On the border: Poland already takes defensive measures after the most serious incident of violation of its airspace since World War II.
After 48 hours of the intrusion in Polish territory by Russian drones allegedly clueless of another bombing against Ukraine, Poland has entered the following screen, a new page in the tension escalation in the border strip of the Polish Galicia, of which two findings transcend.
One of them is unofficialalthough it leaves European military sources heard by various private observers of the Ukraine War. Quantifies in 22 The drones that penetrated the Polish airspaceand underline the disturbing detail that Five of them had an attack trajectory to the Rzesów basean installation used by NATO and that serves as Western arms emission point Para Kiev.
The Another finding is officialit comes from the Ministry of Defense of Poland and is part of what that agency He has informed his Atlantic allies through delegates at the NATO headquarters in Brussels. They are new provisions of the Polish Military Dome for ensure new waves of drones their territory closer to Ukraine and Belarus and, of course, bases and facilities that are found in it.

The first of the measures with which Poland reacts to the incident is The acceleration of a Polish strategic plan. It is called the east shield. Now it will evolve, an initial approach to land defense measures, to a more broad comprehensive plan aimed at including the gradual creation of an anti -mile and anti -urban dome In Polish airspace and a land defense barrier, combining systems. The initial base is the Land observation with satellites (At the moment with NATO help, because the Polish program to acquire three satellites has just started), to detect drone and rocket emission points and help in the Calculation of drone and missile trajectories that could go to their territory.
Two observation and response systems are now incorporated into the plan now linked only to the anti -aircraft defense: Wislaa network of radars and alert sensors to feed data to the patriot antimil batteries, and Narewa network of passive posts and radars for the detection of intrusions that was already activated on September 9 and 10.

The east shield has its foundation on land in the placement on the Eastern Polish border of various Defense steps against a wave of cars combat and armored. Not only are anti -tank easels, but also a network of Artillery posts and counter-carro rockets and other resistance measures – among them a secret network of tunnels for infantry – designed to slow down the progress of an aggressor arrived from Belarus or Ukraine, or also from Kalinningrad, at least two hours in case of mass attack.
The plan was born in 2024 promoted by the government of Donald Tusk -And with European financial aid- as one of its main investment projects in defensebut its merely terrestrial orientation now evolves: it is about Also integrate anti -aircraft In a complete scheme … and more pressing.
More missiles
The general Maciej KliszOperational Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, the same one that the defense against drone interference has been placed on Wednesday, has been placed by the Polish government at the head of the reinforced device after the incident.
Klisz – an officer who went through the classrooms of the US Army College – is in charge of the Response measures in a tension context. The Poland Ministry of Defense has not stopped qualifying as “Inantive “the” multiple violations “of your airspaceo, y klisz es ya eThe first general who has ordered in history the shot of against Russian objectives in NATO territoryin coordination with the Allied Force Command in the Dutch Base of Brunssum.
Hence also the decision that Holland contributes now two of its three patriot batteries to the defense of Poland, which will be done with rewarding procedures. The Patriot Antimisil missiles demonstrated efficacy on the tense night of September 10. A non -quantified part of the intercepted Russian drones fell through the action of rockets fired by lGerman patriot tazes located around the Polish airport in Jasionka.

It can be launches that complement the already active K239 Chunmoo Korean Systemsof which the Polish army was endowed in 2022, months after the Russian assault against Ukraine.
The aerial defense is also trusted to devices that seem from World War I, Bárbara Aerostatos (or aerostatos). Actually they are authentic electronic warfooting stations, capable of detecting signals and Enemy movements at 300 kilometers and send information to control centers and control.
The Polish reaction will also have more aerial support. It is no longer just the Italian Awacs spy plane that acted on September 9 and 10, and Dutch F-35 fighters that knocked down drones. Poland has received the commitment of an endowment, which must still be quantified, French British Eurofighter fighters and Rafale about what today is the hottest point of the Eastern Flank of the Alliance.
