Vice Chief MON speaks of 100 Russian drones. Reports said at 7:00

About a 100 Russian drones. was scheduled to fly over Poland at night from 9 to 10 September 2025, according to the Vice-Chief of the MON. authoritative reports of those days said 19 airspace violations. Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka stated this figure in Thursday's debate on Channel Zero, justifying the creation of an anti-drone program worth almost PLN 15 billion unofficially.

"About 100 Russian drones". What did Vice-Chief MON say?

The Secretary of State at the Ministry of Defence spoke in a debate with Mr Michał Dworczyk, led by Arlet Bojke. She explained where the thought for San's anti-drone strategy came from, and here she called September night.

Where did the thought for the SAN strategy come from. Let us callback the drone night from September 9th to September 10th last year erstwhile we had about 100 Russian drones in Polish airspace

This is not a number from any published document. Until this text was published, the Ministry of Defence had not corrected it or explained on which data the Deputy Minister relied.

Reports said 19 violations and 17 wrecks.

The preliminary study of the General Staff spoke of 19 violations of the Polish airspace. The first was reported on 9 September around 23.30 p.m., the last 10 September around 6.30 p.m. The military shot down at least 3 machines, and by 15 September 2025 the remains of 17 drones were recovered. The Communication besides issued the Ministry of abroad Affairs on 10 September 2025.

It was mainly about Gerbery, or inexpensive dummy drones from Styrofoam and plywood, built to saturate air defence with false targets. They were shot down with AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles, which cost millions of dollars apiece. Poland then launched consultations under Article 4 of the Washington Treaty.

The difference between 1 and the another is more than 5 times. This is not a question of rounding up or any another method of counting: 19 are all registered intrusions, not just those confirmed by uncovering the wreckage.

Why This Number Matters

The Deputy Minister referred to September 2025 not on the margin, but as a justification for a circumstantial arms programme. The San anti-drone strategy is battery modules capable of detecting, tracking, identifying and combating air targets. 1 battery consists of 3 fire platoons and a support platoon.

The program is to be implemented by companies of the Polish Armed Forces Group, primarily PIT-Radwar and the Tarnów Mechanical Plant, and partners are the private company APS and Norwegian Kongsberg. The full is to be created in 2 years, and its cost is estimated unofficially at close to PLN 15 billion, with backing from the EU SAFE instrument. The scale of the threat from that night is so an argument for spending this magnitude, and then each number should be given accurately.

Valuation: a discrepancy not closed

It's not the first time the accounts of that night are moving. The home in Wyryka-Woli in Lublin was initially tied to a Russian drone. In September 2025, “Rzeczpospolita”, citing anonymous sources in the structures of the state liable for security, determined that the building had been damaged by the Polish AIM-120 AMRAAM rocket launched from the F-16 fighter, whose guidance strategy failed.

The Ministry of Defence did not then mention to these findings, declaring only assistance to the injured. The D.A. denied information, citing the good of the investigation. Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed the substance with the words "grabs off from Polish soldiers", indicating that Russia is liable for the full event.

Who is Magdalena Sobkowiak-Blacknecka

Magdalena Sobkowiak-Czarnecka is in the MON recently. The Secretary of State was appointed on 18 June 2026 and the decision to appoint Prime Minister Donald Tusk signed the day before. In the ministry, he is liable for the improvement and transformation of the army and the promotion of the Polish arms manufacture in Poland and for export.

She previously worked at the European Commission in Brussels from 2016 to 2018, dealing with economic, defence and space policy. From 2019 to 2023 she led a squad of advisors Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish, and in 2020 his staff in the presidential campaign. As of January 2024, she was the Undersecretary of State liable for European affairs and then a Government Plenipotentiary for SAFE, the same instrument from which the San strategy is to be financed.

A Thread That Passed Without Echo

Thursday belonged to 2 cases in the media: the arrest of the president of the Polish Olympic Committee and the first detentions in the flood crisis. The message of a 100 drones went through this sound in fact unnoticed, although it concerns what you know and says about your own airspace.

The Russian provocations on the east flank are investigating the reaction time and the readiness of the alliance, as we have written on the occasion US intelligence warnings to NATO. With specified a threat, the precision of the communications is not a formality, due to the fact that it is on them that the citizens' trust and control over expenditures in billions. The Ministry of Defence has not issued a communication on the matter.
