Russian strikes on western Ukraine raise Poland's air defense costs
Poland's Rzeczpospolita, citing defense ministry data, reports that even when drones and missiles do not cross Polish airspace, the country is increasingly scrambling fighters during Russian strikes on western Ukraine. An F-16 flight hour costs 76,859 zlotys (~$19,500), while a pair of aircraft for an hour costs over 150,000 zlotys.
