Russia has prepared drones attack on Poland since July: analysts have revealed details (photos)
Analysts noted that in early July, the Polish publicist Marek Budzish published a report stating that among the fragments of Russian drones, knocked down in Ukraine, 4G models with SIM cards of Polish mobile operators were found. Moreover, one of the apparatus had a map of the Lithuanian provider. In fact, this meant that Russia conducted tests to European networks, preparing drones to work in the airspace of NATO countries.
"We consider it necessary to inform partners in Poland and Lithuania about the identification of SIM cards of Polish and Lithuanian providers in Russian long-range percussion drones," the report said. Obviously, this warning soon came to the Polish authorities, but in the summer it did not cause widespread resonance.
Meanwhile, cases of spanning of the drones of the Russian Federation deep into Poland became regular, and on August 20, one of them exploded near the village of Osina in the Lublin Voivodeship - just 40 kilometers from NATO. Analysts emphasized that the use of mobile modems makes Russian drones more "smart". They can not only adjust the route in flight, but also transmit data on the operation of air defense systems and radio electronic wrestling, as well as in real time to broadcast videos.
Such technologies have long been used in Ukraine, and their transfer to Poland's airspace looks like a conscious intelligence operation. Whether the drones that attacked Poland on the night of September 10 had such opportunities - it is still unknown, although expert on radio technologies Sergei Flash Beskrestnov posted a photo of Russian UAV found in Poland on the social network. According to him, it is a drone "Herbera" and in this case did not have a camera and was not intelligence.
At the same time, experts say that the checking of NATO Allied Air Defense Systems could well be one of the goals of the attack. Moreover, on September 12, Russian-Belarusian Strategic Training "West-2025" will start in Belarus. Earlier it was reported that the command of the Armed Forces of Poland called the emergence of Russian UAV "Act of Aggression" in the airspace of the country.
