Polish jets intercept Russian Il-20 spy plane near Ustka — Kremlin probing air defences

On Tuesday, a Polish quick-reaction alert pair intercepted a Russian Il-20 reconnaissance aircraft near Ustka on the Baltic Sea. Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said it was no coincidence, stating the Kremlin is deliberately probing Poland's air-defence systems. Poland scrambled jets in response.
