Therefore, Typhoon fighter jets will join the allies and perform air defense missions over Poland as part of the Eastern Sentinel program.

The allies launched the operation "following a reckless and dangerous incursion by Russian drones into Poland" last week, the British Defense Ministry added.

  • The next day, Navrotsky agreed to deploy NATO allied troops on his country's territory as part of the new operation.
