Details: At a briefing by Defence Minister Mariusz Blaszczak and General Marek Sokołowski, it was announced that Poland had moved combat helicopters from the 1st Air Force Brigade and the 25th Air Cavalry Brigade to Podlaskie Voivodeship, near the border with Belarus.
General Sokołowski said that they will be on full alert, based in two locations.
After two Belarusian helicopters entered Poland at a low altitude, which did not allow them to be detected immediately, the Polish Minister of Defence ordered an increase in the number of troops on the border and the deployment of additional helicopters. Poland also reported the incident to its allies and summoned the Belarusian envoy.
Official Minsk continues to deny the incident.

Forgive my ignorance but what’s this end goal here by posturing up Poland? Are they going to invade a country in NATO that has US troops stationed there? Poland itself is more than they can chew

This feels so much like the “contributing events” section of the textbook before the maps get all squiggly.

Doesn't Belarus have more important things to be doing, instead of annoying us, Poles?
