UK Fighter Jets to Fly Air Defence Missions Over Poland

The UK has confirmed that Royal Air Force Typhoon jets will begin air defence missions over Poland amid escalating tensions with Russia. The move is part of NATO’s strategy to strengthen security along its eastern flank after a series of Russian drone incursions near Poland, Romania, and Ukraine.

The UK government says the deployment underscores its “unwavering commitment” to European security, while Moscow has dismissed the move as provocation. Analysts warn the military build-up raises risks of accidental clashes, especially as drone warfare intensifies.

This latest deployment adds to growing uncertainty about the direction of the Ukraine conflict and NATO’s role as global power dynamics shift.
