‘Attention!’: NATO Air Defences Shoot Down Russian Drones over Poland For First Time

Oliver JJ Lane 10 Sep 2025

NATO airspace was violated by a “huge number of Russian drones” overnight, the Prime Minister of Poland said, as he triggered NATO’s Article Four while the alliance’s militaries directly shot down Russian UAVs for the first time.

“Last night the Polish airspace was violated by a huge number of Russian drones”, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in an address to the nation’s Parliament on Wednesday morning, telling the assembly: “This is not our war. This is not just a war for Ukrainians. This is a confrontation that Russia has declared on the entire world”.

Tusk said three or four of the 19 drones which entered NATO airspace “posed a threat” and were shot down. It is stated that the others came down by other causes, including running out of fuel, and the Polish military is now searching for remains, and has asked the public to remain vigilant and to report and find wreckage immediately.

 GOP lawmaker calls Russian drones in Poland an ‘act of war’
by Elizabeth Crisp - 09/10/25 9:10 AM ET

Rep. Joe Wilson (R-S.C.) blasted Russia’s overnight drone encroachment into Poland’s airspace as an “act of war,” and called on President Trump to levy tougher sanctions on Moscow over the incursion.

“Russia is attacking NATO ally Poland with Iranian shahed drones less than a week after President Trump hosted [Polish] President [Karol] Nawrocki at the White House,” Wilson wrote in a Tuesday night post on the social platform X.

“This is an act of war, and we are grateful to NATO allies for their swift response to war criminal [Russian President Vladimir] Putin’s continued unprovoked aggression against free and productive nations,” he added.

Officials in Poland said Wednesday that the country’s military shot down Russian drones that “repeatedly violated” the country’s airspace during an attack on neighboring Ukraine.

“We are most likely dealing with a large-scale provocation,” Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said in a televised address. “The situation is serious, and no one doubts that we must prepare for various scenarios.”
