I Am a Defense Expert Who Lives in Poland. Russia Is Testing the NATO Alliance
Story by Reuben Johnson • 3d

Key Points and Summary - Before dawn in Warsaw, Russia’s mass drone-and-missile strike on Ukraine spilled into Poland, with at least eight—and possibly more than twenty—drones crossing NATO airspace.

-Poland activated emergency procedures, scrambling F-16s alongside Dutch F-35s, Italian AWACS, tankers, and German Patriot units to intercept successive waves.
 
-Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned this is the closest Poland has come to open conflict since WWII, even as authorities urged calm.

-Debris struck a home in eastern Poland; no injuries were reported. The incident underscores a rising pattern of cross-border risk, probing allied air defenses and elevating escalation dangers across NATO’s eastern flank.

It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
