Poland has asked NATO allies for additional air defense systems and counter-drone technology to better protect its land from Russian incursions, according to people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reports.

The request came after the NATO and European Union member shot down drones that crossed into its territory during Russia’s latest massive air strike on Ukraine.

According to Polish authorities, this matter was discussed during consultations launched by Warsaw within the framework of Article 4 of the NATO Charter.

"The Czech Republic, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Finland, and the Baltic states—all allies—are ready to assist [Poland] and have already made concrete statements," Polish defense minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said after the talks.

Kosiniak-Kamysz added that he had received information from his Swedish colleague, Pal Jonson, about sending urgent additional assistance, including air defense and aviation, to Poland.

In addition, he said, the Netherlands will provide Poland with Patriot missile systems, anti-drone equipment, and 300 troops.

Separately, UK Secretary of State for Defense John Healey said his government was assessing how it could help Poland in this regard.

One of these options could be the return to Poland of six Typhoon fighter jets, which were deployed to the country just a few weeks ago as part of a NATO airspace protection mission, Bloomberg sources say.
