After all Russian breach of the Polish airspace, the same comment comes back: “You had to shoot down”. No, that's not how it works. On September 23, Russian military Mi-8 breached Polish space for about 300 metres and for 42 seconds. It's an incidental that needs a reaction, not necessarily an automatic weapon usage on the machine. The chopper was tracked, fighters were picked up, and ground systems remained on alert. Operations Command assessed that Russia was investigating the readiness of our air defence erstwhile again.
