Russian Drones Shot Down in Poland — The Hill, Sept. 10

NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe [SACEUR] General Alexus G. Grynkewich speaks during a press conference on the violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones, at the NATO headquarters in Brussels on Sept. 12, 2025. NATO will strengthen the defense of its eastern flank, following the intrusion of Russian drones into Polish airspace this week, announced NATO Secretary on Sept. 12.

After a large-scale Russian drone attack on Ukraine, at least eight drones entered deep into Polish airspace. This is significant because Poland is a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO], “a defense alliance that the U.S., Canada and several European countries created after World War II. Poland joined the alliance in 1999,” according to The Hill. “Article 4 allows member countries to bring their security concerns to the alliance for discussion. It states: ‘The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.’ Invoking Article 4 can lead to a joint decision or action, but it doesn’t automatically prompt a response from member countries. After it is invoked, the issue is discussed and NATO countries decide how to move forward as a group.”
