Russian Jet Breaches Polish Airspace
A Russian Su-24MR military aircraft violated Polish airspace for 72 seconds on February 11, 2025, entering four miles over the Gulf of Gdansk’s territorial waters. Polish radar tracked the aircraft, originating from Kaliningrad, before a Russian air traffic controller corrected its course. Polish authorities reported that Russia acknowledged the airspace violation, attributing it to navigational system failure. This incident follows heightened tensions between Russia and NATO, raising concerns about potential escalation.
