Russian Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft violated Polish airspace over the eastern part of the Gulf of Gdańsk.
The article reports that on 11 February 2025, a Russian Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft from the Kaliningrad region violated Polish airspace over the eastern part of the Gulf of Gdańsk. The aircraft penetrated approximately 6.5 km into Polish territory and remained there for 1 minute and 12 seconds before changing course after intervention by Russian military air-traffic control. Polish authorities were in contact with the Russian side, which acknowledged the violation but attributed it to a navigation-system failure. The incident nevertheless raised concerns because the Su-24MR is a reconnaissance platform capable of gathering electronic and radar intelligence.
