A Russian attack drone of the Shahed type entered Polish airspace and remained there for about two and a half hours before crashing in the village of Osiny.
According to Ukrainian monitoring groups, the drone flew over several regions of Ukraine on the night of August 19–20 without being detected by Polish air defense systems.
Analysis indicates that the drone traveled approximately 200 kilometers to the crash site. Considering its average speed, the flight time over Ukrainian territory would have been about one and a half hours, followed by more than two hours in Polish airspace, crashing at 2:22 a.m. Warsaw time.
Experts note that the model is equipped with navigation systems resistant to interference, raising the possibility that the overflight of Poland was intentional.
The possibility of a technical failure is also considered, but analysts warn that the drone may have been programmed to hit a target within NATO territory.
