Unidentified Object in Polish Airspace: Operational Command Says It Is Unlikely to Be a Missile
In the afternoon, the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces held a press briefing. During the briefing, General Maciej Klisz informed the media that at 6:43 AM, Polish airspace had been breached. The unidentified object entered Polish territory near the Ukrainian city of Chervonohrad.
The object was confirmed by at least three radar stations. I had full control of the object, was ready to shoot it down, and was in contact with Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and the Chief of the General Staff (General Wiesław Kukuła)
- he stated.
- Based on its characteristics, it is not a missile. It is most likely an unmanned aerial vehicle, which I classify as a UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) according to standard procedures - General Klisz noted.
The Object Entered Polish Airspace and Disappeared from Radar After 25 Kilometers. Search Operations Are Ongoing
General Klisz reported that the object "disappeared after approximately 25 kilometers within Polish territory" and was not visually confirmed by aircraft or helicopters. The military has launched a search operation involving 75 soldiers. The search efforts are focused on the Tyszowce municipality area, located about 25 kilometers south of Hrubieszów.
