Reference News Network, November 30 report - According to a report by the German magazine "Focus" on November 29, citing the "Bild" newspaper, according to information obtained from NATO, the Russian MiG-31 fighter jets triggered the alarm of Poland's air defense system on the 29th.
The report said that after monitoring that four MiG-31 fighter jets were flying toward the western border of Russia, the Polish military and the German air defense forces stationed in Poland put their air defense systems into the highest state of alert.
Two sets of German "Patriot" air defense systems deployed at the Rzeszów Airport were activated for defense. German Air Force personnel participated in the response actions. The Rzeszów Airport has been responsible for the transfer of most of the Western military supplies to Ukraine. NATO stated that the Russian aircraft returned shortly after.
A spokesperson for the German Air Force told the "Bild" newspaper: "On Friday, there was activity in Russian airspace, and the air defense units deployed in Poland responded. This included two sets of "Patriot" missile systems of the air force." (Translated by Wang Qing)
