Poland's deputy prime minister has called for NATO to build an 'anti-drone wall' on its border with Russia, just days after Vladimir Putin send dozens of drones into Poland's airspace.
Poland's military was forced to shoot down drones in its airspace with the backing of military aircraft from NATO allies, the first time a member of the Western military alliance is known to have fired shots during Russia's war in Ukraine.
Drones crashed into several civilian homes as well as a military base for Poland’s Territorial Defence Forces.
The episode has deeply worried Poland, which activated Article 4 of the NATO Treaty, calling on all its allies to discuss what to do about Russia.
Radosław Sikorski, the country's deputy prime minister and foreign minister, told Radio 4 this morning that his nation needs an 'anti-drone wall' to protect itself against Russia.
