Warsaw, Sep 20
Polish and allied aircraft were deployed early on Saturday to safeguard Poland's airspace during Russia's strikes on Ukrainian targets near the Polish border, said the Polish Armed Forces Operational Command.
The agency said it has notified Congress of the proposed sale, which includes 2,506 FGM-148F Javelin missiles and 253 lightweight command launch units.
The Polish military shot down drones that "repeatedly violated" Poland's airspace last week. In response, US President Donald Trump said that the alleged Russian drone incursion "could have been a mistake."
Russia has rejected the accusation made by Poland, the EU and NATO that it launched the drones. A number of European leaders accused Russia of carrying out a deliberate drone incursion to test the readiness of NATO.
