Poland's drone-response scrambles cost at least 150,000 zł per incident

Poland incurs costs of at least 150,000 zł each time it scrambles fighter jets in response to potential drone incursions, a recurring expense driven by Russian drone activity over Ukraine. The Kremlin's past drone flights over Poland force Warsaw to treat every Ukrainian drone strike as a potential cross-border threat, creating a persistent financial and operational burden. The exact frequency and total annual cost remain undisclosed, but the pattern indicates a sustained defense posture shift.
