Apropos military 'drills'

"Poland said it shot down several Russian drones on Wednesday morning that reportedly crossed into its airspace during the latest wave of large-scale strikes against Ukraine. This occurred amid the ongoing Polish, Lithuanian and NATO drills involving 30,000 Polish troops, and just ahead of the upcoming Russian-Belarusian Zapad 2025 drills.

Some observers suspect that this was either a deliberate provocation by Russia or a botched reconnaissance mission - though it may have just been due to NATO jamming."
