Russian warplanes put Poland on high alert

On Friday, Russian MiG-31 fighter jets flew westward over the Baltic Sea, prompting the Polish military and nato forces to put their Patriot air defense systems on high alert. The jets then changed course. MiG fighter jets can carry Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which have a range of 300 miles. Two Patriot systems from the German Air Force, which are currently stationed in Poland, were also involved. An officer told Bild, “Russia is constantly testing us. They want to know how we will respond to such actions.” Russia’s provocations are causing Europe to militarize and unite.
