NATO Scrambles Supersonic Fighter Jets Amid ‘Massive’ Russian Attacks.
Fighter jets from NATO nations Poland and Sweden responded to a “massive” Russian aerial assault on Ukraine overnight, the Polish military said on Monday. “Operations of Polish and allied aviation have begun, and ground-based air defense and radar reconnaissance systems have reached a state of highest readiness,” the Polish military said in a statement posted to social media early on Monday.
Gripen fighter jets belonging to Sweden’s air force, stationed in northern Poland, “helped ensure the safety of Polish skies tonight,” Warsaw’s Operational Command said. Sweden and the United Kingdom currently have a rotation of fighter jets stationed in Poland as part of NATO’s air policing mission.
Poland later said no Russian targets crossed into Polish airspace during its “massive missile attack on Ukrainian territory.”
