British fighter jets to patrol Polish airspace after Russian drone breach

British fighter jets will conduct air defense missions over Poland as part of a NATO initiative, following recent incursions of Russian drones into Polish airspace. The RAF Typhoons, based in Lincolnshire, will work alongside forces from Denmark, France, and Germany to strengthen NATO's eastern defenses. A Voyager refueling aircraft will support these missions.

Sir Keir Starmer emphasized that "Russia's reckless behaviour is a direct threat to European security." The operation, named Eastern Sentry, aims to deter potential aggression from Russia. Defense Secretary John Healey stated that NATO responded with unity to the challenge posed by Moscow.
