Warsaw Drone Neutralized as NATO Launches Eastern Sentry to Bolster Eastern Defenses

Investigators are working to identify the aircraft, assessing possible links to recent Russian‑origin incursions into Polish airspace.

Overview

  • Poland’s State Protection Service reported a drone over Warsaw’s government district, including the Belvedere residence, was neutralized, with two Belarusian nationals detained as police investigate the device’s type and origin.
  • NATO’s Eastern Sentry operation is underway to expand surveillance and air‑defense coverage along the eastern flank after at least 19 Russian‑origin drones entered Polish airspace last week.
  • Germany has doubled its deployed Eurofighters in the region and continues to provide a Patriot air‑defense system, while the UK said RAF Typhoons will join allied patrols in the coming days.
  • Polish President Karol Nawrocki called the incursions a Moscow‑directed attack and urged maximum readiness, as Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned the threat comes from the east.
  • Germany’s foreign minister said the Kremlin is testing the alliance, and after Moscow’s claim that NATO is “de facto” at war, allied planners are also discussing extending limited protective measures to western Ukraine.
