Polish Border Guard plane intercepted by Russian jet nearly crashed

-


A spokeswoman for the Polish Border Guard said that the incident occurred over the Black Sea on Friday, May 5, when the Polish plane was conducting a patrol over the Black Sea for EU border protection agency Frontex. 

"During the patrol flight of the Turbolet L-410 aircraft of the Polish Border Guard, during the Frontex operation under the command of Romania, a dangerous event occurred in the operational area," - said the spokeswoman Lieutenant Anna Michalska. She pointed out that during the incident with the Russian fighter, the 5-person crew of Polish Border Guard officers temporarily lost control of the aircraft and lost altitude.

"A twin-engined Russian SU 35 fighter flew without any radio contact into the operational area and made aggressive and dangerous maneuvers - three approaches to the Polish plane without safe separation. As a result, there was a lot of turbulence around the Polish plane."

"The Russian combat aircraft also flew right in front of the SG plane, crossing its flight path at a dangerous distance. According to the crew's assessment, it was about 5 meters. After the third approach, the Russian fighter moved away from the Polish plane."

The European Commission plans to ignore President Karol Nawrocki's veto

-
 TVP's correspondent in Brussels allegedly received information that the European Commission plans to make payments to Poland under SAFE, even if President Karol Nawrocki does not sign the law concerning this program. It is sufficient for Poland to approve the program and designate a Polish plenipotentiary to sign the agreement. If that happens the European Commission will officially ignore the Polish law, and constitution, which says that such a huge loan has to be approved by Polish parliament and signed by the President of Polish Republic. That would be the same European Commission that was so concerned with the rule of law in Poland under conservative government.  - Based on reporting by Dorzeczy.

 As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, it is worth remembering one of the American Revolution's most remarkable heroes. I recently began my journey as a self-published author and would like to share the story of a man whose contributions to American independence deserve far greater recognition. Casimir Pulaski arrived in America as a political exile from Poland. Within months, he helped save George Washington's army at the Battle of Brandywine and went on to create what became the foundation of the American cavalry. He fought for two revolutions, on two continents, and ultimately gave his life for American independence. Yet many Americans have never heard his story. If America's 250th anniversary inspires you to learn more about the people who helped secure our freedom, I invite you to read: PULASKI: The Exile Who Saved Washington's Army and Fought for Two Revolutions
