Details: Klisz said that some of the Russian drones, even those used as decoys to overload air defence systems, had been equipped with explosives.

Quote: "The claim that these were cardboard and paper objects is not entirely true."

Details: Klisz added that the threat to Poland from Russian drones was real in September.

Background:

• Polish authorities had officially reported that around 20 Russian drones breached their airspace on the night of 9-10 September, with some penetrating nearly 300 km from the eastern border.

• On 18 September, Ukraine and Poland agreed to set up a joint operational group on unmanned aerial systems, composed of representatives of the Ukrainian and Polish armed forces.
• Earlier, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that none of the drones that had landed in Poland carried combat warheads.
