Poland's Deputy Minister of Defense Cesare Tomczyk said on the 28th that Poland will adjust fighter and helicopter combat procedures, and the military can decide whether to shoot down foreign aircraft beyond sight based on radar detection and other information. Tomczyk said that previously, the Polish military needed to visually confirm targets before firing in peacetime to avoid mistakenly attacking civilian aircraft or allied military aircraft. However, after the implementation of the new procedure, the pilot or combat commander can make a judgment based on radar readings, whether to enter the no-fly zone, and information provided by the Ukrainian side, etc., and decide whether to use weapons. This will enable Polish military aircraft to hit targets from a longer distance.
