Incursion Polish airspace by Belaruss helicopters

Post by Glidepath »

recently there has been an 'incursion of Polish airspace by Belaruss helis'. edit: footage apparently identified a Mi-24 and a Mi-8/17.
3 km deep into Polska, very low level.
Only now made public.
Polska mil. subsequently stepped up its mil presence in the border region even more.

For what it's worth:

This facebook pic:

shows a Mi-8MTV-5 as per Scramble database (86 white);

the video included in this article:

appears to show a Mi2 rather than a Mi24.

According to a Polish Twitter account the Mi-2 was a Polish helicopter sent after the reports of the Belorussian incursion

That is clear proof that the Mi2 was not in the same formation... :wink: A Mi24 (it) was.

Images presented also seen on Belgian national TV, razor sharp pics with red star and codes to be seen.
and
"The pilots were sent to Minks directly after getting back to base."
for whatever reason.
"The helicopters were part of the security flight associated with the B.Russ president, whos residence is on the other side of the border. "
An element of the Wagner rent-a-gunman troops are not far away from that place either, all adding fuel to the tensions felt on Poland.
