Caption: Poland Warns Russia: Nato Will Shoot Down Jets In Allied Airspace. Poland has issued a sharp warning to Russia, declaring that NATO will not hesitate to shoot down any aircraft or missiles violating allied airspace. Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski delivered the message at an emergency U.N. Security Council session in New York. The meeting was triggered by three Russian military jets entering Estonian airspace for 12 minutes on September 19, before being intercepted by NATO Italian F-35s. Sikorski told Moscow: “If another missile or aircraft enters our space and gets shot down, please don’t come here to whine about it. You have been warned”. The incursion followed earlier Russian drone flights into Poland and Romania this month, raising NATO’s alert levels across Europe. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed Warsaw will shoot down any hostile aircraft crossing Polish skies without hesitation. “There is no room for debate here.” Tusk stated at a press conference, stressing Poland’s firm stance on defending its territory. Sikorski accused Russia of ignoring international law, pursuing domination through nationalism, and refusing peaceful coexistence with its neighbors. In response to repeated incursions, the EU is preparing talks with Ukraine and seven member states on a proposed “drone wall” to protect Europe’s eastern frontier.
