The military picked up a helicopter.
The Operations Command of Types of Armed Forces has reported the increased readiness of selected forces and resources. The military chopper was directed to monitor the situation and defend Polish airspace. The actions are preventive, and the military declares ready to respond immediately.
The reason is Russian drone activity over the western part of Ukraine. There is no communication about the breach of Polish airspace. This discrimination must be observed: the state is to inform and act in advance, but it cannot fuel chaos or present possible threats as an event accomplished.
RCB Alert in Lublin and Podkarpacie
The Government safety Center warned residents of parts of Lublin and Podkarpackie voivodships. The communication indicated the Russian air attack in Ukraine, monitoring the situation and operating Polish aviation in the Republic of Poland. The informing is valid until further notice.
The alert includes 24 powiats and towns with powiat rights in Lublin Voivodeship and 26 in Podkarpacie. The list includes Lublin, Chełm, Zamość, Biała Podlaska, Rzeszów, Przemyśl, Krosno and Tarnobrzeg, as well as areas close the border. The RCB Alert is simply a alert strategy for persons in the area of possible threatTherefore, it does not require prior enrollment by the recipient.
East border requires constant vigilance
This is another signal that the Russian war in Ukraine straight affects the safety of Polish border regions. A fewer days earlier Polish fighters besides operated over the east part of the country, and residents of 2 voivodships received an RCB warning. In late August the alert was launched during mass Russian attack on western Ukraine.
Poland does not choose a place on the map. It has a state outside the east border attacked by Russia, and Russian air raid measures operate close NATO territory. In this situation, the developed strategy of recognition, air defence and fast public informing is not an add-on to safety. It's his base.
Citizens' peace, state readiness
Residents covered by the alert should follow authoritative messages and follow the instructions of the services. The fact that the chopper was picked up does not mean that there was an attack on Poland. It means that the Armed Forces have activated the measures envisaged to observe the situation and defender the border.
The stakes are clear: the safety of Polish families and the credibility of the state. Russia regularly checks the resilience of the east flank, so Poland must respond quickly, calmly and independently measure the risk. Allies are needed, but the first work for the Polish sky always rests with the Republic.
