Speaking alongside the minister, general Dariusz Malinowski, Deputy Commander of Armed Forces Operational Command, indicated it was believed the drone that exploded in Poland was launched from Russia.
He said the view was based on intelligence as “we don’t have a 100% percent certainty that it was … this specific drone, although we do know the locations from which these types of drones are launched, and they are located on Russian territory.”
Malinowski added it wasn’t clear if it was a deliberate violation of Poland’s airspace or a malfunction of a drone targeting Ukraine.
He revealed that it was a military drone propelled by a Chinese-produced engine.
“I’ll say one thing that is certain: Russia will never admit to this. Just as it hasn’t admitted to any of the eight incidents in Moldova, three incidents in Romania, three in Lithuania, two in Latvia, or the one drone incident in Bulgaria,” minister Kosiniak-Kamysz said.
