Czech military JAS-39 Gripen aircraft took off again overnight on the orders of the North Atlantic Alliance to protect the airspace over Poland. In the end, they did not have to intervene, the Czech army said on the social network X. teraz.sk ↗
The aircraft were tasked with protecting the airspace of a NATO member state on the alliance's eastern flank. During their patrol over Poland, they did not register any situation that would have required their direct deployment. zurnal.pravda.sk ↗
Czech Gripens have taken off over Poland repeatedly. According to available information, this was at least the second such sortie this week. NATO issued the order for their deployment at a time when violations or suspicious situations in the airspace of countries on the alliance's eastern flank are occurring more and more often. irozhlas.cz ↗
The Czech aircraft's task was to ensure readiness for a possible threat and to support the protection of Polish airspace. However, their mere presence in the air did not mean that a violation had been confirmed or that intervention was necessary.
The Czech air force thus continues to carry out tasks arising from the joint protection of NATO airspace. Further steps will depend on developments on the alliance's eastern flank and on new orders to deploy aircraft. e15.cz ↗
