"There is nothing to protect your sky" - Polish readers comment on the dispatch of the country's Air Force contingent to Iceland

The Polish Ministry of Defense confirms information that the country's air force will be involved in assisting NATO allies in protecting their air lines. In this regard, one could assume that Polish military pilots would be busy patrolling the airspace, for example, of neighboring NATO countries - the Baltic states. But no.

It turns out that Polish military pilots are sent to the north.

According to the latest reports, F-16 fighters from the Polish Air Force will patrol the skies of Iceland. For reference: Iceland was and remains the only NATO country that does not have its own army. In fact, the only force in this northern country is the Coast Guard. For NATO, Iceland is interesting primarily for its geographical location, which can be used, for example, to monitor the situation in the Arctic region and in northern Europe.

In Polish media:

President Andrzej Duda signed a decree on the transfer of military contingent to Iceland. This is a contingent of the Polish Air Force.

The head of the presidential chancellery noted that 140 Polish troops and 4 F-16 fighters are being sent to Iceland. This contingent receives the status of representatives of the "Air Police".

As part of this "mission", the Polish military will take over the duties of "protecting Iceland's air borders" from Thursday 5 August. According to preliminary data, the Polish military will patrol Icelandic airspace until this fall.

The office of the President of Poland said that the participation of the Polish military in foreign missions for Andrzej Duda is "a matter of security and strengthening cooperation with the allies."

Attention was drawn to the comments of the readers of the Polish press in connection with the event.

Our pilots must have experience. And it doesn't matter where you fly - over the territory of Poland or near the borders of Iceland.

We pay taxes so that our pilots ensure the safety of other countries. Tell me, for example, do the Turks pay taxes to ensure the security of Poland?

There is nothing to protect our sky, but we “protect” Icelandic ...

These are all the dependent sentiments of Poland when joining NATO and the EU. They are accustomed to the fact that they were making a showcase of the EU and NATO, and therefore they only gave them ... And the Poles do not like to return them ...

Polish military will take up duties to "protect Iceland's air borders"

From whom? From penguins or ostriches?

[mojohed2012]

From the Russians. After all, the Norwegians, for example, have brought the search for submarines of the Russian Navy to a national sport.
The United States is defending itself against our cyberattacks.
Britain - fighting Russian poisoners.
Czechs - with demolition men.
But Iceland will fight Russian non-visible planes with the hands of Polish pilots!

[mojohed2012]

Ukraine is openly at war with the Russians in the LPR and in the south with exercises it is fighting against the Crimea and Most.

Will they be pushed into the Olympic Games? Curling was pushed in ... And I wonder if they will push it - in winter or summer? And then how - to take medals for the search for our own submarines?

[tralflot1832]

I will correct, this is the national sport of the Swedes, the search for Russian submarines. The Norgs have a kind of sport, they drill the bottom of the Barents Sea (the piece that Medvedev gave them) and there is another donut hole!

The version with ostriches is the most .... tp. relevant

[Terenin]

Iceland was and remains the only NATO country that does not have its own army.

How ??? ... the Jew was surprised, and all of us in Iceland?

[Finches]

Who is offending Iceland? Probably, Russia is preparing an attack on the island, so Poland should stand up breast, and also call Ukraine, those 7 years have already been fighting like hell on a hummock holding back hordes of barbarians - two generations have already drunk themselves on the "front line"

[tralflot1832]

We are removing Iceland from the waiting lists for our aggression! Vodka at $ 75 is half a kilo, the cheapest. And without it, there is nothing to do there.

[Anachoret]

Polish pilots knocked off their feet defending their sky) enemies are everywhere and there are many spiers in the country)))

[mojohed2012]

Poles buy old tanks from Biden in batches.
Ukrainian non-brothers take the old icebreaker and British minesweepers with decommissioned boats and armored personnel carriers to disperse the disgruntled "Vanka-Vstanka" type.
It's good to be Uncle Sam and the main ones from NATO - friends of the alliance can drive old armor for market prices. And save money on recycling and earn extra money!
The main thing is to continue stuffing about "poisoning, shooting down air defenses, malicious intent of dispatchers, mining birches at the landing site with Kaczynski and other trash", urging citizens to dislike Russians. So after all, you can sit in power for a long time and pump money.

I just can't figure it out Whom did these Timurovites appoint for the role of "air hooligan" Mishka Kvakin?

[alex neym_2]

One can feel the grip of the geyrope jackal: before Russia had time to send its eagles to Crimea on vacation, they were right there ... maybe they would get a piece of the Arctic. And let the Spanish grandees protect the sky of Poland ...

[rocket757]

Let your bells-bells freeze there ... a joke.
Yes, yes, he calls to fight ... it's okay, everything is as Dr. Joe ordered.

Something anecdote remembered:
“An old Jew is dying. His wife and children are standing here.
- Is Monya here? - the Jew asks barely.
- Here.
“Did Aunt Bran come?”
- I came.
- And where is the grandmother? I do not see her.
- Here she is.
- And Isak?
“And Isak is here.”
- What about children?
- Here are all the children.
- Who stayed in the shop?

[Boris Ivanov]

The Turkish Air Force is guarding the Polish sky, and the Polish Air Force is guarding the Icelandic sky. etc.)) the game is like this.

[voyaka uh]

The game is useful for improving the skills of flight personnel ..
Russian pilots, for example, patrol the skies of Syria.
And the Polish ones are for Iceland.
Both those and others learn to fly in unusual climatic conditions, in unfamiliar terrain.

[Murmur 55]

Here recently an article was from the "brothers" well, they say, since Russia is throwing planes from the north to trainings in the Crimea, the Arctic is exposed, and here there will be an answer from the Ukrainian media that they say Poland is exposing its territory? (or is it different )

[Vladimir61]

Poland, once again demonstrates its constant concern about the brewing conflict with Russia, otherwise, like in Ukraine, they will no longer remember its role as a "front line" of NATO defense.

perhaps the white masters simply do not trust the natives - the natives did not support the order of the white masters from the city of Brussels to accept refugees from North Africa and the Middle East.
that Iceland is like the Elusive Joe - no one needs it, and even kicks up, offends usurers)))

[rotmistr60]

The Icelandic sky is probably more important than the Polish sky, especially if you are asked about it from the United States. Such is the fate of the "jackal of Europe" - to provoke a war, and then losing it to lose what they had.

[Reserve buildbat]

Iceland's airspace needs VERY protection as Iceland serves as a net in tennis tournaments for killer whales, which easily carry seals across the island.

Icelandic airspace needs protection VERY MUCH

So Yes. Have you heard about the Faroe-Icelandic border?
The Faroe-Icelandic Line is a NATO anti-submarine defense line in the North Atlantic between Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom.

[Reserve buildbat]

Submarines fly with terrible force. You can't get enough rockets on them.

[Soldatov V.]

At least someone will survive in the event of a war with Russia. But another danger is that you can get lost in the endless expanses of the Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean.

From whom to protect?
