In a recent CNN interview, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski pointed out that Russia has, since early September, been stoking tensions in Europe through a “hybrid war” by intensifying aerial incursions into several NATO countries using both manned and unmanned aircraft.
On 9 and 10 September, more than a dozen Russian drones breached Polish airspace. On 14 September, Romania reported that a Russian drone had violated its airspace. Five days later, three Russian fighter jets invaded Estonia’s airspace, just days after the conclusion of the Russian-Belarusian Zapad 2025 joint military exercises, which included a simulated Russian nuclear strike. During the week of 22 September, drone sightings in Denmark and Norway forced temporary airport closures. The most recent incident occurred on 27 September, when drones were spotted near Denmark’s largest military base. Although Denmark’s prime minister stopped short of directly blaming Russia, suspicions of Moscow’s role remain high.
