RAF Typhoons conducted a NATO air defense mission over Poland on Friday night, responding to recent Russian drone incursions into Polish airspace. The mission, part of Operation Eastern Sentry, involved two fighter jets from RAF Coningsby, supported by a Voyager tanker. Defense Secretary John Healey emphasized the UK's commitment to defending NATO airspace, highlighting the operation as a response to Russia's 'reckless aggression.' This follows a series of concerning incidents including drone incursions into Poland, Romania, and Estonia. Russia denies any wrongdoing.
