PARIS (Reuters) – France will deploy three Rafale fighter jets to help Poland protect its airspace after this week’s drone incursions into its airspace, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Thursday on X.
“The security of the European continent is our top priority. We will not give in to Russia’s increasing intimidation,” he said.
A French military official said the warplanes had already been deployed to Poland prior to Tuesday’s incursions.
