Poland has simplified rules for identifying and shooting down targets in its airspace, effective October 1, according to Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, as reported by Gazeta Prawna. The new regulations allow pilots and commanders to make decisions based on radar data or information provided by Ukraine, which frequently faces Russian drone and missile attacks.

The updated rules aim to enhance air defense capabilities in response to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. Pilots and commanders can now act on information from various sources, including intelligence shared by Ukraine regarding Russian aerial threats.
