Poland Launches War Drills With NATO After Shooting Down Putin's Drones | Spotlight | N18G

Poland launched "Iron Defender 2025", its largest military exercise of the year, involving over 30,000 troops and hundreds of armoured units. Officials say the drills, featuring Apache helicopters and M1 Abrams tanks, are designed to fortify NATO's eastern flank and avoid the vulnerabilities Ukraine faced in 2022. The exercises follow Russia’s drone intrusion into Polish airspace and coincide with Zapad 2025, Moscow’s joint drills with Belarus, which were personally inspected by President Vladimir Putin. NATO has stepped up support, scrambling jets under Operation Eastern Sentry and deploying French, British, German, and Danish assets to Poland. Elsewhere, Croatia staged rare joint drills with tanks and drones, while Denmark led Arctic training in Greenland. The alliance insists the drills are defensive, but they underscore NATO’s resolve against potential escalation.
