Ukraine is experiencing such attacks almost every night. Therefore, significant investments are needed to strengthen NATO eastern flank, the authors of the material indicate. "Moscow probably realized that we have not yet taken lessons with what Ukraine has encountered for years. We are absolutely not ready for this. Now they [the Russians] are already at our door," Ben Hodges said, a former US Army Commander in Europe.
According to the military, the EU requires a multi -level air defense system that would evaluate the scale of attack and redirect resources. It is unacceptable when expensive fighters, such as the Dutch F-35, are raised to destroy cheap drones. "It was a rehearsal, checking how good our early alert systems and what time of our reaction," he added.
The Polish military notes that most UAVs were traps that Russia regularly used to distract attention and weaken the Ukrainian air defense before the next massive blows. A representative of the Polish defense sector reported FT that most of the drones found were Gerbers without warheads. Lithuanian experts Gabrielus Landsbergis have compared the invasion of drones into Poland with Russian diversions in Europe over the last 18 months.
"The Russians try to create a new reality just as they have carried out hybrid attacks. Imagine the same with drones. They do it once, we do not respond. Then another attack will be in Romania or Lithuania," he said. We will remind, in Poland after the attack of Russian drones restricted flights of aviation along the eastern border by December 9.
