The United Kingdom has decided to join the NATO mission called 'Eastern Guardian' in Poland. This country will send its Typhoon fighters to protect Polish airspace. According to the British Ministry of Defence, military assets will ensure safety in the country's skies as part of this mission.
«Royal Air Force Typhoons will join allies and conduct flights to protect Polish airspace as part of the 'Eastern Guardian' mission following the irresponsible and dangerous incursion of Russian drones into Poland last week», the department reported.
Typhoon fighters from the UK will operate alongside the airbase in Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. The exact number of aircraft to be sent to Poland for this mission has not yet been specified.
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed his country's support from NATO in strengthening Europe's measures through the 'Eastern Guardian' mission amid the inconsistent actions of Russian drones. The situation is being overseen by the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Alexis Greenkevich, who coordinates military actions in response to this threat.
