Polish Military Delegation to Visit Ukraine to Study Air Defense Experience — Ukraine's Foreign Ministry Spokesperson

Ukraine will receive a delegation of Polish military officials this week to review the country’s experience in countering Russian air attacks, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Heorhii Tykhyi announced at a briefing on Sept. 17, Orda.kz reports, citing The Kyiv Independent.

The minister announced last week during the visit of his Polish counterpart Radosław Sikorski that a Polish delegation would come to study our experience,
 Tykhyi said.

As of now, there is a date for the visit and details, but since we do not announce such visits for security reasons, I cannot go into specifics,
Tykhyi explained.

According to him, the Polish delegation will be “high-level.” Additional information will be provided by Ukraine’s Defense Ministry.

Later, Polish Defense Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz said that Ukraine and Poland’s defense ministries plan to sign a cooperation agreement that will include strengthening drone operation capabilities, RMF 24 reported.

The announcement follows a drone incident in Poland.

Poland reported that on the night of September 9-10, 19 drones entered its airspace, triggering a response; several were shot down, airspace over several airports was temporarily closed, and the country invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty.

A Polish military official said that some of the drones in a recent incursion were identified as Gerbera models — low-cost, Russian-produced UAVs similar to the Shahed drones.
