Details: The request came after the NATO member country and the European Union was knocked down by drones that invaded its territory during the last massive air strike of Russia in Ukraine, which became the first such answer since the beginning of a full-scale invasion, which began more than three and a half years ago.

Warsaw consults with its NATO allies regarding additional assistance, said people who spoke on the conditions of anonymity, as negotiations occur behind the closed doors. The members of the North Atlantic Treaty discussed this incident earlier on Wednesday after Poland applied Article 4 of the Alliance Treaty, which initiates consultations and may open a way to coordinated actions between the Allies.
“We need Patriot because drones are not the only form of Russian threat to our airspace. We also need a” Anti-Rained Wall, “-said Polish Foreign Minister Radoslav Sikorsky at a pre-conference in Warsaw.
The UK’s Defense Minister John Gili, who called the unmanned flights “dangerous, reckless, unprecedented,” said his government was evaluating ways to respond to Poland’s request. One of the options is to return at least some of the six Typhoon aircraft, which were launched in Poland six weeks ago as part of a NATO mission for airspace patrol, a person close to negotiations reported.
Poland may have already received some proposals. Prime Minister Donald Tusk reported in his post at X that on Wednesday in conversations with the leaders of France, the United Kingdom, Ukraine, Italy, Germany and the Netherlands, he “accepted not only the statement of solidarity with Poland, but above all proposals for specific support for the country’s defense.”
However, it can be difficult for allies to supply more modern systems such as Patriot. Deputy Defense Minister Jens Pletner said that “we collectively believe that at the moment, given the bloody raids of the Russian military in Ukraine, they have the best positions in the future in Ukraine.” He added that it “does not mean that we are evading our responsibility for NATO protection.”
