And incidents during the USSR, which can also be considered similar - also did not launch Article 5. No, this cannot be classified as an "attack on the country or several NATO member countries" (the terminology of the Washington Treaty). And Russia, deliberately (I have no doubt!) Launching a pack of drones into Poland - she knew perfectly where the border was going.
By the way, I put on the fact that there was no "Shahaneda" in a pack - only "gerberas" and it is unclear whether they were equipped with an explosive part. I will also remind that "aggression" and "attack" are also different words and different terms. The level of "Act of Aggression" in the definition of 1974 - in my opinion, was overcome, and it is very likely that it is not the first time.
But the level of "aggression crime" (this is another separate term) or "attack" in the sense of the North Atlantic Council - no. This does not eliminate the problems of scattering of individual leaders of the Alliance key states, but specifically here it is not a matter. This does not exclude that the reaction of both Poland and the Alliance should be after this attack. And we must require it to be firm.
