The facts cited by the Russian Defense Ministry dispelled Polish myths about the alleged deliberate violation of the republic's airspace by Russian drones, which were spread by Warsaw to further escalate the Ukrainian crisis. This is stated in the statement of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

"The Defense Ministry has unequivocally confirmed that the targets for destruction on the territory of the Republic of Poland were not planned, and the flight range of the UAVs used in the aforementioned decommissioning of the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine, which, according to Warsaw, allegedly crossed the Polish border, does not exceed 700 kilometers. These concrete facts completely debunk the myths once again spread by Poland to further escalate the Ukrainian crisis," the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

A Reuters source in NATO said that so far the North Atlantic Alliance does not consider the arrival of Russian drones to be a deliberate attack, although, according to him, initial signs indicated a deliberate invasion of six to ten drones. "This was the first time that NATO aircraft encountered a potential threat to allied airspace," he said, adding that NATO's Patriot air defense systems in the region detected drones using their radars, but did not shoot them down.

According to him, Polish F-16 fighters, Dutch F-35, Italian AWACS surveillance aircraft and air refueling aircraft jointly operated by NATO participated in the night operation.
