“To answer your question, I have to show the example of Belarus. Russian drones fly there and shoot them down. And how much worse is the Polish air defense, where are the F-16 fighters that are put into the air? Also, those F-16s are not the same as ours, but the latest upgrades. But they don’t.
After all, the Americans actually do not allow the Poles to apply their legislation, which says that the enemy’s air attack equipment should be shot down in their skies,” said I. Romanenka.
He also added that Russian air targets are now flying not only into Poland, but also into Romania and Moldova. According to the lieutenant general, this is because V. Putin only understands the language of force, and the West is unable to demonstrate it.
“We agreed with the Poles on how it could be implemented in an organized manner by forming a joint air defense system. This is to shoot down cruise missiles, drones that fly in the direction of Poland, still in the western part of Ukraine.
All the basics and preparations are there. Our and Polish presidents discussed all this. However, there is a US strategy of controlled escalation – just to make sure something doesn’t happen. The Russians do what they want, their allies the Belarusians shoot down the drones, and the Poles can’t. It is necessary to change the relevant political decisions that do not allow the Polish armed forces to fulfill the requirements of their legal acts”, added I. Romanenka.
